Looks like everyone is getting excited down here in Cupertino.(9.54am)
According to a poll on gizmodo, over 50% of folk think that Jobs will introduce some random software update that no-one cares about... Come on though.... He probably will do! (9.56am)
Currently, Everyone is just getting seated. (9.57am)

A man called Tim Cook is currently on stage, telling us about how Leopard is far infront of Vista... We know....He's currently bragging :) (10.05am)
Tim is yapping on about how Apple stores are visited or 400,000 times a day, and introducing new customers etc etc. Reminds me so much of Steve Jobs! (10.07am)
Again, explaining about how well they're doing in the market etc.

"Macs at major universities -- from 15% to almost 50%" "Many universities requires students have a laptop, we've worked hard to get Mac to be a choice. Tim says.
Apple has 39% unit share for notebooks in education, surpassing Dell.
"Let's talk about notebooks. Before we get into the actual notebooks, we want to talk about discoveries we've made. I'd like to talk about some new ways to build notebooks." Jony Ive is out! (10.13am)
He is explaining about how they build there Macbook Pro's to make them strong, I think this is leading to - well were going to re-design that *claps* am I right?
"Through each stage we're cleaning, collecting, and recycling the material. We started with a 2.5lbs piece of metal and end up with a piece that weighs a quarter of a pound." Jonny says, He is now onto the Macbook Air, explaining again how they pulled it off..... How did they pull it off!
Jobs is back; Nvidia came to talk to them a few months ago about a product that would include the chipset and the graphics processor.
Nvidia GeForce 9400M is the name of the product.
Jobs just introduced Glass Trackpads!
EDIT: Having slight problems with images, will upload whenever possible
NEW MACBOOK PRO DESIGN ANNOUNCED- DAMN THAT THING IS SEXY!
"Slot load super drive, magsafe connector, Ethernet, firewire 800, dual USB, mini display port, we're going to that on all our products, expresscard 34, and the battery indicator is now on the side."
Macbook Air:Next up is the MacBook Air. They’re putting the 9400M into the MBA. 4x faster graphics. They’re upgrading the 120GB HDD (up from 80GB), or a 128GB SSD. Also has a Mini Display port. Kind of obvious the 120GB HDD, the Classic got an update so that means the MBA gets one.
OMG GUYS I NEARLY CHOKED ON MY CHEWING GUM! (LITERALY) THE PICCYS SPEAK 4 THEM SELVES! That display is niiice
New Macbooks! I think I will be buying one, depending on price:
Jobs is now showing a video, time to catch up on some stuff, So far we've had complete re-designs of Macbook (Pro) Just saw some pictures of the back sides etc. prices: $899 for Macbook, and I think it was $1299 for MBP, best bit - THERE SHIPPING TODAY!
Just showing some internal parts.....nothing but wires o.O
Now there talking about the environmental side, you know, the bit we all care about, very, very much? Also, For once, they didn't come out with some random software update - instead it was a random talk no-one cared less about! Also, no news on iLife 09' and iWork 09'! I have a bad feeling this event is going to go on for longer...
Um....it seems there talking about Steves blood pressure - is this going to lead onto - I'm extremely sick, I'm going to quit Apple :S Come on Chris Pirillo take his place!!
Ah..they have moved onto Q & A, there have been a few questions about the HDMI/Blu-Ray - That didn't appear :O Maybe nex... Oh wait, the next revision will be...A long time away :)
Phil tried to stick up for his side, and he mentioned the HD movies in iTunes, which will look great on the new glossy screens.
Its not 11, doesn't seem to be ending :S Will I be here for another hour, half an hour?
A question about the glossyy screens, wont it be messed up? No, reduce the lighting... Well duh?
Q: You've put a lot of work into the new touchpad, do touchscreens not make sense?
A: Steve: so far it hasn't made a lot of sense to us.
Looks like, the event is over! Thanks all for reading, anymore questions, my info is at the bottom, when Apple release a video, we will have a link to it!
Thanks,
George
