2:18AM - I know, the suspense is killing me, too. Check back later this morning for live coverage!
12:19AM - While you’re killing time waiting for the keynote to start, make sure you check out some of the contests we’ve got running right now!
We’re giving away a Sony DSLR-A330 camera, Sony HDR-CX100 HD camcorder, and Sonos S5 wireless music system — all pretty amazing devices. Go on, we’ll still be here.
8:29AM - Also, be sure to check out the “iSlate” page on gdgt, it’s where all the news and discussions about the Apple tablet is going down. (Yes, we’ll change the name when/if Apple announces the damned thing today!)
9:01AM - Almost to the event!
9:05AM - Yowch, media line this time is fairly crazy! Standing by for admission.
9:17AM - Alright, we’re in! Doors aren’t open yet though, so we’re huddled in with all the other reporters and guests.
9:28AM - Doors opening in just a sec! (Photos are coming!)
9:41AM - Alright, we’re in! Dylan playing on the PA — Steve’s favorite!
9:44AM - There’s a small Saarinen table on stage, as well as a Le Corbusier seat. Is Steve going to take a seat and wax poetic about his years in the biz?
9:49AM - House WiFi is crazy slow right now, hopefully things hold out for the event!
9:54AM - Tim Cook, Phil Schiller, and other senior execs up front talking and laughing. Everyone looks pretty jubilant!
9:55AM - Also, big ups to my boy Chris at Joystiq for lending a hand with our live coverage!
9:57AM - Oh hey, Al gore! People are getting seated, looks like we’re getting started on time today.
9:59AM - Yep, all Dylan jams this time. This is definitely a Steve event.
10:01AM - Lights are coming down! Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” is closing…
10:01AM - Steve is out! Huge applause.
10:01AM - Standing ovation towards the front — hooting and cheering! “Thank you.”
10:02AM - “Good morning, and thank you all for coming today. We want to kick off 2010 by introducing a truly magical and revolutionary new product.”
10:02AM - “Before we get to that, I’ve got a few updates.” Chuckles. “First: iPods. A few weeks ago we sold our 250 millionth iPod.” Big applause.
10:02AM - “I didn’t want to let this one pass without recognizing that it’s pretty amazing. Second update: retail stores. We have 284 retail stores, it’s amazing.”
10:03AM - “Last holiday quarter we had over 250 million visitors to our stores.” Talking about the new New York stores. “It’s so wonderful to be putting these stores right in the neighborhoods of our customers. It feels good. Next update: app store.”
10:04AM - “We have over over 140k apps in the app store. And a few weeks ago we announced users have downloaded 3 billion applications.”
10:05AM - “Lastly, we started apple in 1976 — 34 years later, we just ended our holiday quarter with 15.6 billion in revenue.” Big applause. “That means Apple is over a 50 billion dollar company — I like to forget that, because that’s not how we think of Apple, but it’s pretty amazing.”
10:06AM - “How do we get this revenue? iPods, iPhones, MacBook laptops… Apple is a mobile devices company, that’s what we do. We asked ourselves: how do we stack up? Well, Apple is the largest mobile devices business in the world today.” Bigger than Sony, Samsung — bigger than Nokia (by revenue). “Apple is the number one mobile devices company in the world!”
10:07AM - “Let’s get to the main event.” Murmurs. “Before we get to that [the tablet], I want to go back to 1991. Apple invented the modern laptop computer with our PowerBooks. The first laptop with a TFT screen, that pushed the keyboard up and had an integrated pointing device.”
10:08AM - iPhone, MacBooks — “Everyone uses a laptop and/or a smartphone. The question has arisen lately: is there room for a third category device in the middle?”
10:08AM - “In order to create a new category of devices, those devices will have to be far better at doing some key tasks — important things — better than the laptop and smartphone. What kind of tasks? Things like browsing the web…”
10:09AM - “That’s a tall order — better than a laptop at browsing the web? Enjoying and sharing photos, videos, enjoying music, playing games, reading e-books.”
10:09AM - “It’s got to be better at these key tasks otherwise it has no reason for being. Some people have said: oh, that’s a netbook. The problem is netbooks aren’t better at ANYTHING.” Applause. “They’re just cheap laptops.”
10:10AM - iPad.
10:10AM - Huge applause.
10:10AM - “Let me show it to you now.”
10:11AM - Steve’s showing it. “It’s very thin. You can change the home screen… what this device does is extraordinary. It’s the best browsing experience you’ve ever had.”
10:11AM - “You can see the whole page in front of you and you can manipulate it with your fingers. You can turn it any way you want — it adjusts however you want it. You can see the whole page — it’s phenomenal. It’s an incredible experience.”
10:12AM - Email with a giant on-screen keyboard: “It’s a dream to type on.”
10:12AM - Photos: “Flick through them, it’s a wonderful way to share your photos. Built in a calendar. Address book, great maps app with Google Maps.”
10:13AM - “iPad is an awesome way to enjoy your music collection. And, of course, we have the iTunes store built right into the iPad.”
10:14AM - “That’s a little overview, but there’s nothing like seeing it, so I’d like to show you now. Using this thing is remarkable — it’s so much more intimate than a laptop, and it’s so much more capable than a smartphone.”
10:14AM - “Let’s go right to the web. Here we are at the NYT — you can see how fast this is.”
10:15AM - Going to the Time site. The scrolling is super smooth, it’s pretty damned nice.
10:16AM - “Going to Fandango — grab the tablet that’s in the kitchen, buy some tickets. It’s that simple.” It sure is, Steve.
10:17AM - “This is gorgeous. Right in the palm of your hand. Let’s go to email.” Man, I dunno, there is like too much room! Horizontal email view is pretty sweet though, finally two pane!
10:18AM - “That’s how simple mail is. If I want to reply to a message, up pops this gorgeous keyboard.” Steve is typing with two hands on his lap — not using thumbs. Very interesting.
10:19AM - Next, photos! Flick through — albums too. “If I’m on a Mac, I can get events, places, and faces from iPhoto.” Neato.
10:20AM - Photo scrubber bar at the bottom. “It’s really wonderful.”
10:20AM - Built-in slideshows. Music playing with the slides and transitions. Looks pretty damned good!
10:22AM - Music, large iTunes LP album artwork. Naturally Steve had to get an “It all works!” in there.
10:23AM - iTunes store. The UI on this thing is pretty intense, so far. Everything is familiar, but it’s all totally different from iPhone and OS X — this is a big launch for Apple. As if you hadn’t already noticed.
10:24AM - Showing calendar and maps, both look pretty amazing on this display.
10:25AM - Street view support looks pretty amazing. “Let me show you video, it looks wonderful.” Showing HD YouTube playback.
10:26AM - Showing movies and TV shows. Widescreen looks a little awkward because the screen is more square than widescreen, but it’s still damned fine. “Let’s pick another movie I love: Up.” chuckles. “Awesome movie.”
10:27AM - “That is video on the iPad. So that’s a bit of an overview as to what the iPad can do.” Big applause. “Watching it is nothing like getting one in your hands.”
10:28AM - “It’s 0.5-inches thin, weighs just 1.5 pounds. Thinner and lighter than any netbook. 9.7-inch IPS display.”
10:28AM - “As you know, Apple builds the best capacitive multi-touch sensors in the world — married to our great display, it’s super responsive and super precise.”
10:29AM - “iPad is powered by our own custom silicon. Our own chip. It’s called the A4, and it screams.” 1GHz. 16, 32, or 64GB of flash storage. “It’s got the latest in wireless: 802.11n, WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.”
10:29AM - “All the usual suspects: accelerometer, compass, speaker, mic, dock connector. And it’s got battery.”
10:30AM - “What’s the battery life on this remarkable device?” Pauses. “We’ve been able to achieve 10 hours of battery life.” Big applause.
10:30AM - “In addition to this battery life, it’s got a month of standby life. It’s remarkable.”
10:31AM - “Environmentally, the iPad is a good citizen. That’s a little bit of an overview of the iPad’s hardware. Let’s go back to software. We’ve seen great built-in apps. But let’s talk about 3rd party apps. To help me do that: Scott Forstall, SVP of iPhone software.” Scott’s up!
12:18AM - I know, the suspense is killing me, too. Check back later this morning for live coverage!
12:19AM - While you’re killing time waiting for the keynote to start, make sure you check out some of the contests we’ve got running right now!

10:32AM - “We built the iPad to run virtually every one of these apps unmodified right out of the box. We can do that in two ways — do it with pixel for pixel accuracy in a black box, or we can pixel-double and run them in full-screen. This is really cool.” Demo!
10:32AM - Showing Facebook app: “This is the app you know and love.” Tap on the 2x button, it scales the app up to full-screen.
10:35AM - Showing Snowcross, a snowmobile game. “There you go, right out of the App Store, unmodified. All the apps you know and love will run right now on your iPad.”
10:35AM - “If the developer takes the time, they can also take full advantage of the large touchscreen display in the iPad. We did that with our own internal apps, and we expect developers will want to do that too.” New SDK out today including iPad tools.
10:37AM - “We’re really excited about the possibilities for developers on the iPad. About 2 weeks ago we invited some developers to Apple to give them a sneak peek and see what they can build in just a couple weeks.” Starting with the “largest” game developer on the App Store: Gameloft.
10:38AM - Showing a title called Nova. This looks pretty decent, but still a tiny bit choppy. But hey, this was done in two weeks, so I’m gonna cut these guys some slack.
10:39AM - Showing first-person shooting with multi-touch, like target acquisition by drawing a graph in your HUD. Pretty neat!
10:40AM - Next up: New York Times. “They’ve been publishing for over 150 years — it’s commonly referred to as THE paper of record. To tell you about their plans for the iPad, I’d like to invite up Martin Nisenholtz.”
12:18AM - I know, the suspense is killing me, too. Check back later this morning for live coverage!
