Live Coverage of Apple Event

Apple is holding its media event today and is introducing their much anticipated tablet device. The event kicks off at 10 am Pacific or 1 pm Eastern. Apple does not provide a live video or audio stream to their events, so you can only follow along live with text and photo updates. Apple will post a QuickTime video a few hours after the event.

The tablet device was unveiled and is called iPad. According the overview by Mr. Jobs it’s very thin, with customizable background images. “You can browse the Web with it. It’s the best browsing experience you’ve ever had.”

The iPad works in both landscape and portrait mode, like the iPhone. It has a virtual keyboard, access to photo collections, direct access to iTunes’ surfeit of content.

“It’s awesome to watch TV shows and movies,” Mr. Jobs says. “It’s so much more intimate than a laptop and it’s so much more capable than a smartphone with its gorgeous screen.”
