I don’t like Ping, but who am I to go against what the Woz says? After Wednesday’s Apple Music Event (where Steve Jobs surprisingly mentioned Wozniak by calling him his “partner in crime”) some journalists met the Woz and asked him a few questions about the stuff Jobs announced on stage. Namely, Apple TV and Apple’s first attempt at social networking – Ping.

In case you missed today’s live streaming of Steve Jobs’ keynote at Apple’s annual music event, you can watch it again over at Apple’s website.
Head over this link (the same Apple used for the live streaming) with a compatible browser, and enjoy the presentation of new iPods, iOS 4.2, iTunes 10 and Apple TV. It’s a great keynote.
Apple’s developer website is back up, and there’s iOS 4.1 GM seed ready to be downloaded in there.
If you’ve got a developer account, you can find it here: https://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action
Finally, the wait is over. Apple will provide a live stream of tomorrow’s music event: of course, we’ll be here ready to discuss everything with you.
This is something we’ve been looking forward to for a very long time, and my guess is that Steve Jobs wants bloggers to blog less at his keynotes using MiFis. Maybe. Maybe they just thought is was about time.
Anyway, the video stream will be available at apple.com tomorrow. Great news.
Well, here come the last rumors before tomorrow’s big event. Bloomberg is now reporting that, according to three people familiar with the matter, a new Apple TV will be announced tomorrow in San Francisco and that Netflix streaming will be included in the set-top box.
Apple’s music event is tomorrow, the wait is almost over. In about 24 hours we’ll know everything about new iPod Touches, iPod Nanos (or Shuffles) iTV and whatever the rumor makers want Apple to announce. Still, it’s time for some last minute speculation.
It’s that time of the year again. Apple is holding its annual music event on Wednesday, September 1 where Steve Jobs will announce new iPod Touches (with Retina Display, FaceTime capabilities?), new iPod Nanos and, probably, a new Apple TV together with the rumored iTunes in the cloud.
So many rumors are floating around on the internet, and we’ll be here liveblogging the event and discussing news & rumors with you. If you followed MacStories’ live events before, you know what to expect. We’ll be pulling news off the best sources around and comment them live with you. We can’t wait.
All you have to do is bookmark this page or come back on September 1st at 9.30 PT (12.30 ET). Check your timezone. If you sign up through the chat box below you’ll also be notified with an email before the event kicks off.
See you on September 1st!
I’m a firm believer that there must be something wrong with many developers who publish apps in the App Store. Creepy artworks and soundtracks, scary screenshots in the App Store page, insanely horrifying user interfaces.
Crapptastic is here to help you find the best of the worst in the App Store, in case you ever wanted to do that. Founded by @Digeratii (Josh Hellferich, also owner of popular website iPad Apps That Don’t Suck) Crapptastic “celebrates the hilarity that is the iTunes App Store”, and in a good way: while those screenshots piss me off when I see them in iTunes, Crapptastic somehow manages to make me laugh everytime.
I mean, Listen to the pig? Seriously?
Apple is getting ready to announce new iPods on Wednesday, but rumor has it we’ll also new a brand new iTV, iTunes in the cloud, iOS 4 for iPad, new iLife. So many rumors for a music event. Stay tuned for the live coverage event we’re setting up here on MacStories, as usual.
Last month Apple launched the “iAd for Developers” program, a way for developers to advertise their application through the iAd infrastructure by enabling the users to click on a banner and get an App Store-like page, with options to download the app (from the ad itself), see screenshots and read the description.
The iAd for Developers campaign comes at $0.25 per click (unlike iAd’s standard $2 per click fee) and, according to Apple, it should be the best way to drive a huge amount of traffic to your application. Admittedly, it sounds like a great idea: you don’t have the leave the app you’re currently in to buy another app, the system is smart and targets that app based on you. For small developers, this could be a great source of revenue at a rather affordable price.
