Apple: the return of direct streaming of Keynotes ?

We can not hide from you our surprise when we learned that Apple again decided to offer a Special Event (before one called them Keynote) with on-line streaming. This reversal after years is certainly related to the desire of the company to make publicity of HTTP Live Streaming technology that they try to impose vis-a-vis Flash on the web. Incidentally, this also shows in a certain way the superiority of Apple, since only they support this standard fully. Only the products running under iOS (3 minimum) and Mac OS X 10.6 will be able to view these vidéos.

We also wonder if Apple seeks to avoid any intermediaries between what they say and what will be published on line. Indeed, at the time of the keynote of Antennagate, the majority of the sites relaying the reported remarks also gave hot commentary on them, often in an unfavourable way. Anyway, let us be happy to have this direct streaming. For French speakers, we will ensure a translation of the important points on the http://keynote.macbidouille.com page so that you do not lose anything during the spectacle.
