Apple posts Macworld 2008 keynote stream
Living up to its promise from its last-minute site update, Apple on Tuesday evening posted the streaming QuickTime feed of its Macworld San Francisco 2008 keynote speech by company chief Steve Jobs.
The announcement saw the release of the MacBook Air subnotebook, iTunes Movie Rentals with new Apple TV software with HD video support, and its new Time Capsule hybrid router and network backup device.
Apple also released the iPhone 1.1.3 update with a customizable home screen, triangulated positioning in Google Maps, and multi-recipient SMS text messaging. The iPod touch now also ships with a software upgrade ($20 separately) that brings Google Maps, Mail, Notes, and widget apps previously limited to the iPhone.

Geez it's about time... he he
Watched it about 2 hours ago before it was officially posted.
I'd like to download it so I can watch it on the iPhone - suggestions?!
Yes, wait a week or two for it to show up iTS as free DL.
Reminds me of 2004 and 2003 and 2002!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't its a copyrighted production, no way to save it with Quicktime :-)
in the keynote ? He looks thin, (his face) your Impressions:?
You would be too if you only got paid a dollar a year.
I actually found the iPhone version of the keynote by peeking at the reference movie they provide. It's available for download from Apple as a self-contained MP4, and seems to play fine in QuickTime Player in OS X. (I suspect, and hope, that it will play okay on my Apple TV, as well.)
Excellent. Apple has their keynotes down now.
It's so smooth this year; absolutely perfect. None of the blocking and freezing that has crippled it's first day release all the previous years.
Is anyone else feeling exactly the opposite is true? Or is this a sarcastic post?
The stream is absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!!
Can't even see the f*ing product AT ALL... just MPEG artifacts and even audio dropping out.
Edit: At this point I can't even get audio. Anyone transfer the stream from when it was acceptable? Why doesn't Apple just post it on iTunes immediately, even in small size, instead of streaming it?

Not being sarcastic at all. I've even being stopping and restarting streams to answer posts here, and going back to verify something Jobs said during the keynote.
Did you install the new QT version yet?

No. Is that really the issue?

I don't know, I didn't try it before the install.

I had major problems too, but I updated to the latest QT and it works beautifully now.

Still the same. It's okay at the beginning of the keynote. But jump to the MacBook Air intro and all hell breaks loose. Must be a traffic issue.
And I still have no access to the MacBook Air Ad.
But the Guided Tour now has audio, at least on the online version -- I think that wasn't a Quicktime issue though, I think Apple accidentally posted a mute version. My downloaded copy was still silent. I'm downloading another copy to see if Apple fixed it.
