MacWorld Expo 2006 Steve Jobs Keynote Live Thread
me et al ^ | January 10 2006 | :')

Posted on 01/10/2006 9:04:53 AM PST by SunkenCiv

I was going to take a walk, but finally tracked down the scheduled time for Jobs' keynote (9 AM) and figured I'd better hang out. Any minute now. I wish I had a webcast address, I'd like to see it. Of course, the bandwidth will be swamped...

"12:04 PM - What's that sound?  It's the sound of everyone trying to connect to the Wi-Fi network.  The one that's not on."

[there's a wi-fi blackout, apparently as usual]

Ooooh, nice! Thanks. No pictures, but then the pictures aren't all loading on engadget anyway.

from your macrumors link:

9:16 am Demo of SNL content. blues brothers, coneheads etc...
9:15 am New Saturday Night Live content going up today.

[this is amusing, as SNL's rerun on Saturday had that "iPod invisa" send-up]

Okay, both sites refused connection. Off I go again...

Thanks! But back to engadget:

12:12 PM - "How many [iPods] did we sell last quarter?  Some of the estimates were getting astronomical - 8 million, 9 million.  I'm really pleased to annnounce that last quarter we sold 14 million iPods .. that is over a hundred every minute, 24/7 thoroughout the quarter. And it still wasnt enough. We've now sold over 42 million iPods -- as you can see the curve is going up again"

12:14 PM - We have sold on iTunes over 850 million songs.  We are well on our way to hitting a billion in the next weeks.  That is over a billion songs a year run rate. Our market share continues to be very strong - 83 percent. As you know one of the newest things on iPods is TV shows.  Since we launched on October 12th we have sold over 8 million videos.  For the first time last week we added some sports.  For the first time with ABC and ESPN we put up some Bowl games."

12:15 PM - "The Rose Bowl is the #1 video now on iTunes.  Today we're putting up some great new content, Saturday Night Live. This is some stuff that I've personally wanted to see from day one."

12:16 PM - Video: John Belushi in Samurai delicatessen. The Coneheads at home. (these are playing on an iPod screen.) The Blue Brothers get a round of cheers.

12:16 PM - We're also introducing a new accessory for your iPod today, which is a remote control - it's also an FM tuner.

12:18 PM - And last, I want to give an update on Chrysler.  For those of you that missed it at the Detroit Auto Show, Chrysler is the first american manufacture to offer iPod integration on their models. In 2006 over 40% of the cars sold in 2006 will offer iPod integration.

The "Demo video for Aperture" will take a few minutes I guess. I don't know how long his keynotes usually take, I'm thinkin' they're brief, maybe not. I've never seen him speak in person. I have seen Woz, who is more interesting to listen to. ;')

12:19 PM - "The last thing I've got is a new ad I wanted to show you, a new iPod ad.  At our December event we were so lucky to have Wynton Marsalis come and play for us ... "Marsalis ad, a tasteful blue version of the Eminem-style ad. Huge applause from the oldsters in the house.

12: 19PM - "That's what we're up to in music.  BUT ... It's Macworld. So we're gonna spend the rest of the day talking about the Mac."

[it's getting closer...]
