What do you expect of MWSF '07 keynote?

I guess that really depends on how fast they can transcode it to MP4. If the keynote's really 2h instead of 1.5h, it might take longer than usual.

Based on the dearth of rumors, mostly about a stupid frickin' phone for heaven's sake, this could be the lamest Macworld ever under Jobs. I can't help but think there is something coming totally off the wall from the hype on the Apple site. If it's just a phone...pfff, I give up.

You mean, they'll try to put it up as soon as they technically can? Umm interesting...

Well, Apple makes all the software needed to do this LIVE, and for years they did webcast every major keynote live. I don't know why they stopped. Maybe they want to be able to edit out any screwups...

IIRC, in the past they've had the stream up within a day. I expect they won't keep us waiting TOO long.

Now the question is, do I read the Mac news sites (which I assume will offer live coverage), or do I wait until I can watch the keynote myself for the "full effect"? Oh, decisions, decisions...

So... when will this keynote go on to the apple's site?

Usually about 6 hours after the Keynote at the site QuickTime Apple Events. However the download site is overwhelmed for the first week. Good Luck in getting it. Personally I monitor the site MacRumorslive.com and wait about a week to watch it.

I'm still hoping for a MacBook Pro Tablet.

6 hours? I think it's been much earlier before, because in CET (where I live), it starts at 18.00 usually, has usually been over at 19.30 and I definitely _know_ that there's been one time when I watched it at around 22.00... The best thing, of course, is still to actually _be_ there when Steve speaks. Much more "live" than any webcast.

Btw.: It's less than 2 hours away now, and you can go here - http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2007/01/20070105150245.shtml - if you want a spoiler-free experience. They'll put the link to the video up as soon as it arrives.
