Apple event streaming live

Apple made the unusual move this week of saying it would post a live video stream of its 1 p.m. media event. Usually you have to be in the audience with Steve Jobs to hear the announcements live.

But there's a catch: You can only watch it on one of the company's own devices. More specifically, you can only get the live stream on a "Mac running Safari on Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard, an iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or higher, or an iPad."

The broadcast will begin at 1 p.m. EST (10 a.m. PST) at Apple.com.

What will Apple unveil? Post tech columnist Rob Pegoraro's analyzes the speculation around a new iPod or TV product.
