Apple is gearing up for the launch of the eagerly awaited iPad mini and, because fanboys around the world want to watch the official unveiling as it happens, the company is also streaming the event online.

All those who want to see Tim Cook taking the wraps off the new iPad mini can use either this link or their Apple TVs, with the event scheduled to go live at 10:00 a.m. PDT.

If you wish to watch it online, make sure your browser is updated and you have already installed QuickTime. iOS users can watch it too, but it requires Safari on iOS 4.2 or later.

Of course, Apple recommends Safari 4 or later on Mac OS X v10.6 or later for the best possible experience, while streaming via Apple TV requires second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 5.0.2 or later.
