@Christaylor - Is the maps build going to enable Apple to better compete in the geotagging game?

by UNWIND_NYC 9/12/2012 4:42:32 PM
Yep, we're still waiting

They'd better let you in soon if they want to start on time.

The gatekeepers

by Chris Taylor via mobile 9/12/2012 4:44:50 PM
So Apple won't be live streaming the event -- but if some reporter wants to risk future access and live stream from inside, we'll do our part and share the link until said person gets kicked out of Yerba Buena.

by Christina 9/12/2012 4:45:04 PM
Consensus among the press is that we already know all the details of the new iPhone - but we're all hoping to be surprised.

It's not just a new iPhone -- Apple is also expected to launch a new iPod nano, updated iPod touch and iTunes 11. Read more details in this Mashable article. mashable.com

Looking for a brand new design of iPhone. Come on Apple we are bored of the same rounded edge phone from iPhone 4...

The scene from the street driving by this morning

Also, FYI, the reason "Baby" is a poll option is because Scribble Live doesn't like me to have commas in the titles. :)

by Christina 9/12/2012 4:49:20 PM
And we're in!

by Chris Taylor via mobile 9/12/2012 4:49:46 PM
the IOS will make or break this phone.

by rscspokenword 9/12/2012 4:50:04 PM
Tell us what music they are playing, CT!

by Christina 9/12/2012 4:50:36 PM
@christina I was wondering about the baby option

by andrea 9/12/2012 4:50:36 PM
People talk a lot about WOW factor but Apple ain't a circus, yes they wow us from time to time with amazing tech and software but that isn't their main focus or concern, evolution and optimization takes time and just like Porsche, sometimes the best next big thing is a little tweak, that makes all the difference.

@Mário Rodrigues Great point!

by Christina 9/12/2012 4:53:36 PM
CT -- keep me updated on that and I'll update this Spotify playlist with the tracks!

by Christina 9/12/2012 4:54:28 PM
This is the Spotify Playlist we'll try to keep up and running with the music played before the event! open.spotify.com

by Christina 9/12/2012 4:55:12 PM
next track: Charlie Brown by Coldplay

by Chris Taylor 9/12/2012 4:55:44 PM
Is it just me or does everyone have the feeling that a great big surprise is waiting for us?

by GrannieTheGeek 9/12/2012 4:56:12 PM
Great, CT, keep it coming I'll keep it updated!

by Christina 9/12/2012 4:56:20 PM
Grannie: I sure hope so!

by Christina 9/12/2012 4:56:44 PM
"Ladies and gentlemen, the event will begin shortly. Please switch all electronic devices to silent." That'll take about 10 mins.

by Chris Taylor 9/12/2012 4:57:32 PM
Next track: Lonely Boy by the Black Keys

by Chris Taylor 9/12/2012 4:58:20 PM
CT you are excellent!

by Christina 9/12/2012 4:59:00 PM
CT: What kind of devices are people using around you? iPhones? Or do you see some Android phones and PCs are well?

by Emily Price 9/12/2012 4:59:01 PM
Mr. Jobs you are missed!!

Good thing CT knows his music

by andrea 9/12/2012 4:59:28 PM
Well, at least one person has a PC. Our EiC Lance Ulanoff is there on his Ultrabook!

by Christina 9/12/2012 4:59:40 PM
I'd say 80% Apple laptops in the rows around me.

by Chris Taylor 9/12/2012 4:59:56 PM
And the lights dim. Let's get this show started!

by Chris Taylor 9/12/2012 5:00:04 PM
Tim Cook is on stage.

by Chris Taylor 9/12/2012 5:00:20 PM
He seems to be smiling a lot more than at previous events. Even waving.

by Chris Taylor 9/12/2012 5:00:36 PM
"We've got some really cool stuff to show you. It's an amazing time at Apple."

by Chris Taylor 9/12/2012 5:00:52 PM
Retail update first, with pics of the new Barcelona store.
