Back To The Mac: Live Streaming for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch & Mac

Tweet

Apple’s Back To The Mac event, which we will thoroughly cover as it happens, will be streamed live by Cupertino, just like the company did with the previous iPod-centered media event back in September.

But Apple decided not to change everything, again, when it comes to who will be actually able to watch the whole thing. Live streaming will be restricted to Apple product owners. In order to take watch the whole keynote live, you’ll need a Mac running Safari on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or an iPhone, iPod touch on iOS 3.0 or higher or an iPad. In fact here’s the full press release from Apple:
