Neat, the live stream returns. Does anyone know when they stopped doing that? It will be interesting to see whether the stream holds up or crumbles.

Steve Jobs had problems accessing the web on the new iPhone during his last presentation because of all the devices with wifi and the mifis in the audience. Could the live stream be a reaction to that? (With a live stream in place larger parts of the press will probably be ok with stricter rules with regard to wifi or mifi usage. If the stream holds up all the live blogging is kinda pointless.)

"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™." I guess windows and linux users need not apply.

Pretty funny how that sentence is preceded by "based on open standards".

It could simply be that no one else has implemented those open standards. Apple isn't responsible for adding support to other platforms, so it's technically accurate if the standards are indeed open, regardless of whether other people have chosen to implement them.

I don't think they'll be happy. If the stream holds up all the live blogging is kinda pointless hits the nail on the head as to why.
