14 DAY TRIAL // The September 1 Apple keynote delivered by Chief Executive Officer, Steve Jobs, is now available in multiple formats that can be viewed on both Mac and Windows, as a podcast on iTunes.
A media alert issued by Apple on before the September 1 keynote kick-off revealed that only Macintosh computers running Snow Leopard and iOS devices were eligible for decoding Apple’s stream.
“Apple will broadcast its September 1 event online using Apple’s industry-leading HTTP Live Streaming, which is based on open standards,” said the Mac maker.
“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.”
As such, on September 1, 2010, 10:00 a.m. PDT, only Apple-device owners could watch Steve Jobs as he introduced new iPods, a new version of iTunes, previews of new iOS software updates, and a revamped Apple TV.
Now, the Cupertino-based giant maker of electronics is kind enough to offer the ability to watch the presentation on systems other than its own, including Windows PCs.
There is still a requirement - iTunes. A new version is available starting today, with a notable new addition called Ping, described by Apple as “social networking for music.”
Located here, “The Apple Keynotes podcast offers video of the company's most important announcements, including Apple CEO Steve Jobs' annual keynotes from Macworld,” Apple says.
The keynote covers the following announcements, just in case you’ve missed them:
4th-Gen iPod touch with Retina Display, FaceTime, HD Video, iOS 4.1
New iPod Nano with FM Radio, Multi-Touch UI
4G iPod shuffle with Clickable Buttons and VoiceOver
New iTunes 10 with Ping for Mac and Windows
iOS 4.1 Software Update Available for Free Download on September 8
New Apple TV; Scheduled to Launch in Late Sept. for $99
