- neil1492, on 09/09/2008, -5/+35http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/live-from-apple ...
Best Coverage so far. - DonnyW, on 09/09/2008, -7/+30I'm willing to say right now that Steve Jobs' turtle neck could go down in history as the most influential piece of clothing ever.
- inactive, on 09/09/2008, -0/+20Man... Steve is looking really thin.
- cadmiumpaint, on 09/09/2008, -0/+20"NBC is coming back to iTunes! Monk, The Office, Battlestar Galactica, 30 Rock, Heroes and some more"
good to see NBC caved in. - TheMidnight, on 09/09/2008, -1/+18In other news, absolutely nothing has happened yet. Keep refreshing our web page for ad views in case something phenomenal does happen in eight hours.
- rodrigo74, on 09/09/2008, -0/+15Bummer, no 64GB Touch...
- bloogey, on 09/09/2008, -0/+13ya, he still looks sickly
- rayskin, on 09/09/2008, -1/+14Only Apple... This is why they dominate, nobody else would ever think of this.
iPod Nano - "New feature... shake to shuffle!" - rayskin, on 09/09/2008, -0/+12I thought the 160gb is discontinued. 120gb for $249
- FredFredrickson, on 09/09/2008, -6/+18And only one kind of Mac user, apparently: the delusional fanboy.
- inactive, on 09/09/2008, -1/+12Just a quick rundown of the sites with the best coverage. Open up those tabs!

http://www.macworld.com/article/135421/2008/09/liv ... - tomazws, on 09/09/2008, -0/+10The new Nano looks pretty nice
- jamied311, on 09/09/2008, -4/+13Please announce a price drop on iPod touch!
- jayhawk88, on 09/09/2008, -1/+9It's true. It's something so simple, and arguably even pointless or gimmicky, but it's just going to be eaten up by the consuming public. In 5 years you won't be able to buy an MP3 player that doesn't have motion sensitive controls of some kind.
- inactive, on 09/09/2008, -1/+9And Gizmodo has pics and formating. Ars has.....text.
How 1996 of you, Ars. All we're missing is a few animated gifs. - Meursault, on 09/09/2008, -0/+8The company I work for is about to announce a new SAN switch and firmware update. Insanely great. Anyone? Hello?
- Laminarcissus, on 09/09/2008, -0/+7Okay that decides it, I'm not jogging.
- inactive, on 09/09/2008, -0/+7Shake to shuffle. Genius!
- MacParrot, on 09/09/2008, -0/+7So finally NBC wants my money again instead of getting it in a torrent? NBC, you could have made a lot of money instead of giving it away.
- KingHarvest00, on 09/09/2008, -0/+7Let me download iTunes 8, dammit.
- Churnd, on 09/09/2008, -2/+9He looks worse health-wise.
- digiguy, on 09/09/2008, -0/+7He changed his shirt color.
- digjam, on 09/09/2008, -0/+7WTF? no mention of any improvements in 2.1 upgrade.? Just a short mention? Wht has been fixed what are the new features? back ground notifications????
This is ridiculous... - xelloss, on 09/09/2008, -0/+6Just buy one of those arm bands that hold it. Good runners run with their heads up. I think people walking and txting on their iPhones is more of a disaster waiting to happen...bam! hit by the bus.
- OnlyShawn, on 09/09/2008, -0/+6it's all robot underneath the turtleneck. they didn't have time to put meat over the metal after transferring his brain.
they were in such a rush, they even picked up the wrong color turtleneck.
(how many black tnecks does he have? 1 or 50?) - OnlyShawn, on 09/09/2008, -0/+6man, what a great point. I'm sure they didn't think of that at all.
- agjimenez, on 09/09/2008, -1/+7Comment hijack: Live keynote updates at http://live.slashgear.com/
- rayskin, on 09/09/2008, -0/+6Who knew, leave the number #1 store more Music & TV Shows and you will loose money. GG NBC!
/Closes Bitorrent - Linake, on 09/09/2008, -0/+6I posted this in another story about the event, but I might as well post it here too :)

Sorry for any typos! - Gee1004, on 09/09/2008, -0/+6You can't download or purchase nothing until the show is over
- joelw23, on 09/09/2008, -0/+6so when will Itunes 8 be available today???
- rayskin, on 09/09/2008, -0/+5Don't you lock your iPod when you jog? That should prevent it.
- MacParrot, on 09/09/2008, -0/+5It's all Pixar man. Notice that not once (NOT ONCE!) did he ever step in front of anyone. Dan Lyons may be the Fake Steve Jobs, but Apple has the Pixar Jobs
- darthmunky, on 09/09/2008, -1/+6Steve Jobs said iTunes 8 is available today, but its still version 7 on the Apple website. When is it going to be online? I NEED IT NOW!
- NathanCH, on 09/09/2008, -0/+5There isn't one. However, Apple will upload the conference with video later tonight.
- mongrel, on 09/09/2008, -1/+6And still no frigging FLASH SUPPORT! Wtf Apple is this 1998? It's not an up & coming technology for fssake. You can pump 3D graphics to rival a PSP but I can't watch Strongbad.
- DonnyW, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4very true. it's possible they may have to share the distinction.
- DaviDTC, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4I wonder how sensitive this is or if can be turned off. I go to the gym, run and bike so there could be down falls to this. I hope they really looked at stuff like that.
- paulieslim, on 09/09/2008, -1/+5I wonder what Steve Jobs will be wearing?
- phoomp, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4New Nano is apparently the "thinnest Nano ever!!!" ...
... by 0.016 inches. - iluvatar, on 09/09/2008, -1/+5Surely you're forgetting the gilded codpiece of the 14th century. Where would we be without that?
- JerichoKS, on 09/09/2008, -4/+8Roundup: New iPod Nanos, iPod Touch price drop, new iTunes, new iPhone firmware.
- inactive, on 09/09/2008, -1/+5best news has to be NBC coming back to iTunes!!!
- deaftly, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4You clearly don't remember those shirts that changed colors when heat touched them.
- gordigor, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4Yes. They have 90% desktop OS.... They seem to give the updates away for free.
- inactive, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4Anybody have a link to live a live audio feed?
- dariotjuh, on 09/09/2008, -1/+5"If he's a Mac user, he'll tell you. If not, why embarrass him?" Tom Clancy
- harryterry, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4The Touch still isn't cheap enough... definitely needed to be priced at or under the iPhone
and...
I want 2.1 for my iPhone now (and iTunes 8.0 while I'm at it) - anodos, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4Questions I have:
1. Does the new iPhone 2.1 update include Genius on the phone, like the iPod Touch (I assume it does, but he never explicitly stated)?
2. Did I miss something? Nothing mentioned about push - or turn by turn GPS? I don't care about games!! I just want a todo list that can notify me, and calendar notifications that aren't so wimpy, grrrr! Turn by turn GPS would be nice too.
3. Will I be able to use Nike+ on my iPhone?
4. Still no copy/paste?
It will be nice if my iPhone drops less calls on 3G, though. -
