Apple Will Provide Live Video Streaming of September 1 Event

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.

“Apple® will broadcast its September 1 event online using Apple’s industry-leading HTTP Live Streaming, which is based on open standards. Viewing requires either a Mac® running Safari® on Mac OS® X version 10.6 Snow Leopard®, an iPhone® or iPod touch® running iOS 3.0 or higher, or an iPad™. The live broadcast will begin at 10:00 a.m. PDT on September 1, 2010 at www.apple.com.

Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork, and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple is reinventing the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced its magical iPad which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices. “

I find it pretty curious that the video streaming will require OS X or iOS, though.
