    Tomorrow's the day for Apple's product announcement. At least one new iPhone will be announced, and if the past is any indication, we may see at least "one more thing" from the assembled Apple execs who will be showing off the company's latest innovations. TUAW is liveblogging the event beginning at 12:45 PM ET / 9:45 AM PT and you can bookmark our liveblog page today. TUAW TV Live will be moving to Tuesday this week, with hosts Steve Sande and Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd doing a live post-event analysis beginning at 5 PM ET. We don't know yet if Apple will be live-streaming the event or not, but even if they are, be sure to leave a window open for the liveblog and the commentary provided by the TUAW blogging staff.

With this cool new tool, you can scroll back and forth in time to see what you missed while running to the bathroom, and there's absolutely no browser refreshing required. Many thanks to Erik Sagen, Joe Bartlett, and Brett Terpstra for their outstanding work on the front end of the new liveblog tool. This was Joe's first project with the team, and according to Brett he got a "roaring start out of the gate." Kudos to the Blogsmith team for their work on the back end of the system. During and after the liveblog, be sure to check TUAW for breakout posts describing any and all new features and products. At 2 PM PST / 5 PM EST, you can join Kelly Guimont and myself here or at ustream.tv/tuaw for an hour long TUAW TV Live. We'll be talking about the announcement and would love for you to join us.

    On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the (11-10)th month in the 2000+11th year, Verizon finally gets its iPhone. Maybe. (After all, they may just be having service upgrades or something boring like that.) And TUAW is there. Greatest thing ever? Or -- if this really goes down -- simply another small accomplishment of the marketing behemoth that is iPhone. You tell us. Our comments are open, and you're welcome to join in the discussion. Today, we're meta-liveblogging the event, updating this post with info, facts and opinion as this event rolls out. Keep refreshing the post, as we'll regularly be updating it with newer updates towards the top. 11:33 If you enjoyed this live coverage and want to see more of the same, please pop by our feedback page and let our producers know. As always, we thank you for taking time out of your busy day to spend with TUAW. We are nothing without our readers, and we appreciate every one of you! 11:32 Okay TUAWians, we're going to wrap up the coverage now. This was short, sweet and a lovely surprise for us all. 11:31 Megs: But, I think enough people may jump ship to where it'll ease the capacity. Erica: Hardly a win for AT&T then 11:31 RichG: I think AT&T are in a bind -- I doubt they introduced those data caps lightly, IO think they really were sttuggling with network capacity 11:31 I wonder if this will impact sales of MyWi 11:30 TJ Luoma: They're talking now about a tethering app. Will it be available to AT&T customers?

Today, we'll be liveblogging Apple's announcements and adding our traditional TUAW twist to the proceedings. Watch Apple's live stream with us as we analyze, celebrate, and otherwise party down with Apple's traditional September iPod refresh. Will there be new TV rentals? iTunes in the cloud? A refreshed nano? Find out with TUAW and share the excitement! Please note: due to the hundreds of participants and hundreds of comments we cannot publish everyone during the liveblog. We aren't ignoring you, it just isn't possible. Thank you for understanding.

    Well, there's not really a patent on our metaliveblog, it's just the way we're rolling until Apple's media team acknowledges our existence and puts us on the invite list. Or, at the least, acknowledges the existence of the iPhone 4 in Mexico. Tomorrow at 1PM Eastern in the US we'll be liveblogging right here. Bookmark that link, and join us for the mayhem, and watch along with us with Apple's live feed. Who knows what we'll see? Not us! Although, we love to make educated guesses. Meanwhile, the latest rumors include the iPad showing up on sale in Target stores, and Bloomberg chiming in that Netflix playback will be included on the next-gen Apple TV.

  • Apple to hold media event on September 1st

    It's official -- the media invites have just gone out from Apple to invite the select outlets to a company event on Wednesday, September 1st. That's a week earlier than BusinessWeek's prediction. Apple has historically used a September event to introduce new iPods and announce enhancements to the iTunes service. Apple TV, which is widely expected to be refreshed and relaunched (possibly with a naming/branding change to iTV), was originally introduced at a Fall event. In addition to the anticipated Apple TV update, many analysts are predicting a 4th generation iPod touch (possibly with cameras), an iPad refresh, an iTunes update (likely to 9.3 or 10.0), and a TV episode rental scheme. Regardless of what Apple introduces, TUAW will be virtually there to meta-liveblog the event, bringing you updates and analysis as they happen. Got some predictions? Share them in our comments.

    Thank you again everyone for stopping by and sharing this live event with TUAW. We really appreciated how many of you stuck around after our CoverItLive connection died. Thank you all! We really appreciate your support for TUAW. 11:37: And it looks like we're out of there. I think I'm going to have to soak my fingers in ice water. Yikes! 11:35: iPad is up on Apple, and video! 11:35 "Thank you so much for coming." 11:35 GIZ Jason Chen: And here's IPS: In Plane Switching. Click here if you want a better explanation of the technology. 11:34: "Go to the store. Get your hands on an iPad. Once you get your hands on an iPad you'll never go back." 11:33: "We fit the users. User don't have to come to the device. We come to the users." 11:33: "We always try to be at the intersection of technology and liberal arts. Be able to get the best of both. Extremely fast products." 11:33: Jason Chen: "We are ready for the iPad." 11:32: "Most advanced technology", "Magical and revolutionary device", "Unbelievable price". 11:31 Back to Steve. iTunes Store, App Store, iBook Store, all on the iPad. Over 125million accounts. One click shopping. (One tap, really) 12 Billion products. At scale, and ready for iPad. 11:30: (via Macworld) Monitoring The Twitter, I see a lot of people blown away by the price here, and also a bunch of people sold on the keyboard. Fraser Spiers, a Mac developer and a schoolteacher, says the 16GB wi-fi only model with keyboard extra makes it an amazing product for education. 11:30 "If I was a college kid and most of my textbooks were on here, I'd be pre-ordering right now" -- Megan Lavey
