What, no 3 hour long livestreamed press event?
edit: oh, they had one planned in NY, cancelled due to the hurricane
- dangrossman 14y agoIt was cancelled due to the hurricane. The event was going to be in New York.
- codeulike 14y agoAh, I see. Thanks. Multi-user in Android 4.2 looks handy. edit: ah, but device specific so far, so only on the Nexus 10.
- seiji 14y agoOdd they announced it anyway. Could you imagine Apple having to cancel an event then just throwing the specs up on their website?
- codeulike 14y agoI suppose they have agreements with Asus, Samsung and LG and so they have to announce now ...
- aviraldg 14y agoRead my reply above.
- jonknee 14y agoSure. It beats re-scheduling and having all the invitees re-book travel on a very tight deadline (not to mention where, it's possible NYC won't be able to host such an event for a while). If SF had an Earthquake right before a scheduled event, I wouldn't hold it against Apple if they made it into a press release type announcement.

- MattSayar 14y agoI honestly prefer this format. I got all the critical details within 10 minutes, the press will be able to salivate over it for the next week, and I'm still just as hyped about the devices.
- codeulike 14y agoI think this is the most stuff I've ever seen launched in one blog post.
- codeulike 14y agoI think Google are going to lose out though. This was a potentially huge launch. For example: The Guardian has absolutely nothing on this at the moment, but they were all over Surface and the iPad Mini. They'll catch up in a couple of days, but there will be no livestream on the Guardian front page etc.
