The live stream of today’s big Apple event will make it a lot easier to track. It is a shame you need an Apple product to watch it though, but let’s hope the servers hold up.
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.

Why base it on open standards and then exclude the majority of people? Weird.
I presume it is because they don’t have the bandwidth to cope otherwise, but it only ends up looking like they are excluding a lot of people.
