Apple September 1, 2010 Event Live Coverage Links.

UPDATE:
Apple to provide live video streaming of September 1 event.

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 once again is hinting at the new service they will be unveiling at the September 1 event. Yes, the live video streaming of the event is the showcase of Apple new streaming service. Why limited to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and  iOS 3.0 or higher? The technology within QuickTime X is the culprit. This doesn’t mean the stream can’t be viewed everywhere else, it is just conveniently packed for the “approved” OSes.

The last time Apple streamed its live event was back in 2004, as they no longer provide it starting MacWorld Expo 2005.

Here we go again, obsessively waiting for the announcement from Apple. This time is a yet unnamed music event that will take place at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

The event starts at 10:00 AM, and that means many of us will be reading the reports off the Internet. Isn’t that great? We will be finding out what Steve Jobs unveiling just like Gizmodo, since they still did not get any invitations from Apple.

If you still feel compeled to read the live coverage while watching the live stream, or if you couldn’t get it for whatever the reasons are; you can go to the following links. As usual more links will be added as they are made available:
