Apple to Live Stream Wednesday iPod Event

Apple will live stream its Wednesday press event, the company announced on its Web site.

"View streaming video from Wednesday's event starting at 10 a.m. PDT," according to a note on apple.com.

PC owners are out of luck, however. To view the live stream, which will utilized Apple's HTTP Live Streaming, users will need a Mac running Safari and Mac OS X version 10.6, Snow Leopard. It will also be available via the iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 3.0 or higher, and on the iPad.

The Wednesday event, which will be held in San Francisco, is largely expected to include a refresh of the company's iPod line. There have been a variety of rumors about what else Cupertino might unveil – including 99-cent TV show rentals, a revamped Apple TV known as iTV, Netflix streaming on Apple TV, a mini 7-inch iPad, and longer lengths for iTunes music previews.

PCMag will be at the Apple event. Be sure to follow our live blog on Gearlog.com for all the latest news from San Francisco.

About Our Expert

Chloe Albanesius

Executive Editor, News

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.
