What time is the Apple announcement?

[starsgoblue]

I know it's going to be in Cali...but anyone know what time so I can scour the 'net for news?

If they do a webcast of it, you'll be able to access it at http://stream.apple.akadns.net (it's intentionally down at the moment). Otherwise, they'll post a full video of the event shortly following it.

Do they usually stream these, does anyone know? Or is it just the keynotes?

 

[Zoomerang96]

aargh.

Sometimes they do, other times they don't They have streamed some past music events live, and you'd think with U2 being there, they'd do it this time too. If not though, there will certainly be a video posted after the event.

What are we expecting from this announcement? is it just for the U2 I-pod? or are we hoping they'll be releasing some of the songs onto I-Tunes as a teaser!

 

[zoopop]

They could announce a early release on Itunes...

 

[bono_man2002]

as great as that would be it wont happen.
I could be wrong, but it wont be on itunes until its in the shops...but i've been wrong before ya know!

 

[Renne]

I hope it isn't. iTunes stuff isn't available to download here, I don't think.

 

[starsgoblue]

They won't release it to iTunes early....they're smarter than that because then it would be illegally downloaded everywhere....


As of now...2 hours to go.

 

[mikal]

i feel that many people may waste there time today hoping for new songs when it's just not going to happen.

if i'm wrong, i'll declare myself a dumbass in every post for the next week.

 

[starsgoblue]

Mikal...I'm not waiting for new songs. I'm waiting to see to what the freakin' iPod looks like.

 

[digsy]

me too
i've started doing my financial calculation already to see if i got the bucks for one...
dont care what i have to sell
i WILL have one!

Well a few bands have released entire albums early to iTunes. I bought one of them last year, it was released 2 weeks early to iTunes. I ended up wishing I hadn't because I was tired of the album before it hit the stores.

 

[what a bomb!]

"buys all the ladies U2 Ipods then declares himself bankrupt!"

 

[starsgoblue]

Yeah!! We'll make it up to ya!

 

[shart1780]

It'll probably just be Bono and that Apple guy shaking hands or something.

 

[starsgoblue]

I hate waiting...

 

[FullonEdge2]

So how much more time until an announcement?

 

[mikal]

it's supposedly going on as we speak.

 

[ClaytonMan]

This is killing me!!!

no news is good news, but it is still killing me!!!
are people posting here as soon as we know.

 

[mikal]

that would be funny if they released "Solar" instead of "HTDAAB" on the I-Pod.
