Update: That's all folks! We've got iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1, with scads of new features (app arrangement! Home sharing! iTunes LP!); also new capacities on the iPod touch, new iPod shuffle models, and the camera-equipped iPod nano.
Join us at 1pm ET/10am PT for our liveblog of the Apple 9/9 event. We're joined by our onsite special correspondents, Daniel Brusilovsky and Sam Levin.

Anyone know of a feed that has more news and less blabber? This is annoying.

I agree with zydeco, I'd like a feed that contains news and updates... less babble.

So, the iPod nano with video is the "one more thing". So – no tablet, as expected.
Let the hatestorm of all those gullible iTablet believers begin!

I want to know why the Nano gets a camera but the Touch doesn't!! How silly! I was really hoping it would have one as my daughter would have loved that!

Seems like some of those rumors about the prototype cameras in the iPodTouch failing has some validity.

nano only takes video? no photos?

thanks for the liveblog. it was great to watch. i'm not too sad that the tablet wasn't announced — i'd rather they get it right than rush it out. i *am* surprised that there was no beatles announcement. that seemed like a slam dunk.

I'm sure all the all the cute comments are funny to the writers, but it's very confusing to the readers who are not there or who have missed the beginning. "Nano has price drop!" "Just kidding" "Nano is a tiny tablet!" "Just kidding" get real annoying real fast.

That wasn't much of an event. How is the Genius function they added different from the current genius? And can't we already re-arrange the itouch icons on the device itself? And no camera on the touch?
And the ultimate indignity -- Norah Jones at a "Rock and Roll" event!

Everyone hates arranging the icons on the devices, especially when there are a lot of them. People have been clamoring about being able to do it in iTunes for ages.

I put off buying an iPod Touch as a graduation present for my brother this spring because I wanted to buy him one with a camera. I really thought they'd get the camera today! Now I have to figure out if it's really worth it to even buy one for him -- those things would be so much more useful with a camera! I use the camera so much on my iPhone, but I definitely can't afford to buy him an iPhone service plan. :(

Doesn't Apple's fiscal year end in September? If so, wouldn't having all those Amazon.com pre-orders filled be better for Apple's bottom line?

Jobs is now doing what he complained that the record companies were doing with music rights: artificially controlling their market to make it so that people can't do what they really want to.
The Touch is our most popular model, so let's cripple it!
Apple is changing for the worse.
Worst Apple Event ever and a turning point for a company that used to be interested only in creating great products.

Looks to me like the 16 and 32 Gb touches support a microphone!
