There's a way to watch the 'iPad mini' event live
Share:
Apple usually doesn't stream the media events where it reveals its latest and greatest inventions, however, the one that's going to take place today, the iPad mini event, will be an exception to the rule, maybe even the first of many.
Unfortunately, the event won't be streamed through any of the typical channels we know, but will be broadcast on Apple TV. That's right, if you want to watch this live event, you need to own the Apple TV. Apple has officially confirmed that a new Apple Events app is now being rolled out to Apple TVs around the world, and inside it, people can now find the "Apple Special Event - Live" entry, which, as you may guess, is no other but today's event.
Those who own an Apple TV should tune in at about 10AM Pacific, 1PM Eastern, 7PM Central European (or 5PM GMT). If the Apple Events app doesn't show up, make sure that the device is connected to the Internet and wait for a few minutes - it should appear.
So far, we're not aware of other channels where the event might be streamed, but if we find something you'll be the first to know. Stay tuned for our in-depth coverage of the event and the new device/s!

this is the difference maker between apple and others like sammy, sony, htc, etc.
All of the above are trying to build ecosystems which are really good for consumers and they provide customers with a richer more immersive experience BUT androids and WP doesn't force consumers to own anyhting whereas Apple seems like a very monopolistic company who wants to shove all of their products down their own customer's throats!
I mean why on earth isnt the apple event available to iphone, or ipod users for that matter? In a day and age where podcats and other internet medium is important why is apple making it exclusive just for Apple TV owners?

What I don't get about them streaming it on their website, they require Safari 4 or later on Mac OS X v10.6 or later, or Safari on iOS 4.2 or later. Also, streaming via Apple TV requires second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 5.0.2 or later.

Apple is a company becoming richer and richer by taking advantage of the dumbness of a lot of people. I guess the company's motto is "you need to buy this in order to get this". It seems they doing pretty good in that area coz a lot of people patronize their idea. --just saying

are you guys still curious even if you say you're a hater, but it means you obsessed and that's mean you're psycho. no, i'm not curious, thanks. if the ad was broadcasted with "must use specified thing" it means it is for internal costumers only and we are as an outsider a.k.a gaijin should not involved.
