If you couldn’t be at the iPad 2 unveiling in San Francisco, now you can watch it for yourself thanks to Apple. The company has posted an iPad 2 keynote video link on its Web site.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs shared the stage with other Apple executives to introduce the iPad 2, a new faster, thinner and lighter iPad that will be out on March 11th.
Apple also used the occasion to preview iOS 4.3, which will debut at the same time, and to show off new iPad appss including GarageBand and iMovie. Both new apps (and the new operating system) sport features designed to complement the new iPad’s capabilities.
Safari and iTunes just show a blank selection where the video should be, and the iPhone 3Gs displays an error that says it cannot connect to iTunes store once I click on the actual video link under Apple Keynotes.
Others having issues? Apple’s servers must be getting hit hard…
It’s not working for me either, with Safari, at Apple’s web site. Then I launched iTunes and went to the Apple Keynote Podcast section on the iTunes Store and it only starts downloading previous keynotes, not the one from yesterday.
In iTunes, I started canceling the Apple Keynote Podcast downloads that were older and eventually the “Apple Special Event March 2011 / Apple Keynotes” Podcast started downloading. It’s 846.7 MBs.
At the end of Steve’s March 2011 Keynote, when he was thanking all the his development teams’ families, Steve got a little emotional and it looked to me like he believes this Keynote might be his last.
From iTunes: “Apple Special Event, March 2011” cannot be played on this iPhone
But now at least it works in Safari!
Syncing the Podcast version off your computer to you iPhone, using iTunes, will get a playable version of the Keynote on your iPhone.
