Apple is set to reveal its new iPads today during an event that will also probably include news on its Mac lineup and the latest update to Mac OS X, Yosemite.

PCMag's Dan Costa and Joel Santo Domingo are in Cupertino, and will be live-blogging the event via @PCMagLive, embedded below. Apple will also live-stream the event on apple.com/live, but only on Apple devices. Specifically, you'll need a Mac with OS X v10.6.8 or later and Safari version 5.1.10 or later. On iOS, you'll need at least iOS 6, while the stream will also work on Apple TV units with second- or third-generation Apple TV software 6.2 or later.

We might already know what Apple has up its sleeve for the iPad. Yesterday, an iPad user's guide for iOS 8 popped up online listing an iPad mini 3 and an iPad Air 2, both of which sported Touch ID. The iTunes listing was quickly updated to show the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display.

The event kicks off at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET, and you can follow along below. Until then, check out What to Expect From Apple's iPad Event, as well as 7 Things We Want in Apple's New iPad.

My Experience

I started out covering tech policy in DC for The National Journal, where my beat included state-level tech news and all the congressional hearings and FCC meetings I could handle. I later covered Wall Street trading tech before switching gears to consumer tech. I now lead PCMag's news coverage.

My Areas of Expertise

Getting my start in DC means I still have a soft spot for tech policy; Congressional hearings can sometimes be as entertaining as a Bravo reality show, for better or worse. But PCMag is all about the technology we use every day, as well as keeping an eye out for the trends that will shape the industry in the years ahead (or flop on arrival). I've covered the rise of social media, the iOS vs. Android wars, the cord-cutting revolution that's now left us with hefty streaming bills, and the effort to stuff artificial intelligence into every product you could imagine. This job has taken me to CES in Vegas (one too many times), IFA in Berlin, and MWC in Barcelona. I also drove a Tesla 1,000 miles out west as part of our Best Mobile Networks project. Of late, my focus is on our hard-working team of reporters at PCMag, guiding and editing their robust coverage.
