9:49AM We're here, and we're waiting out front for the big party to start. Stay tuned for more info as it happens!

10:07AM We're inside and we've got some very exciting happenings afoot... stay tuned.

10:12AM That's right folks -- we've already managed to get our hands on the G1 (see post above), and we're in the process of handling some other colors right now (there's also white and brown). We're hanging out with a few of the developers for the device, and they're being very gracious with their phones. Thanks guys!

10:17AM We just heard that for the first 90 days after purchase, all apps from the T-Mobile Marketplace (or whatever they're calling their App Store) will be free for phone buyers. That's a nice incentive... now how about some free Amazon MP3s?

10:19AM Announcement: ladies and gentlemen, we'll be starting 10 minutes. Also, there's some smooth jazz playing here that's a little too smooth, and not enough jazz.

We're at Apple's Let's Rock iPod event at the Yerba Buena Center, check after the break for all our updates.

Yes, it seems like some kind of crazy dream, but Apple's big Fall event is descending upon us at a merciless speed. Join us tomorrow when we'll be liveblogging the whole thing from its destructive, brain-shattering start, straight through to the thirilling (yet inevitable) universe-collapsing finish. Will we see those heavily rumored iPod nano 4Gs? Will Apple finally release a fresh Newton? Will Steve Jobs float magically over the crowd like a figure from a Chagall? Find out tomorrow.

Where you'll need to be:
