Apple to Live Stream Their iPod Event Today!

In a rare change from Apple, they will be live streaming their keynote tomorrow morning. Typically, these are recorded and then released sometime later.

We are expecting a complete refresh to the iPod line up. There have been many rumours and leaked pictures of different cases and touch screens and stuff. Some say the iPod Nano is getting the biggest overhaul, being shrunk down to smaller form, and losing the click wheel. Others are saying that this smaller iPod is actually an iPod Shuffle refresh. It is probably more likely that they would make the Nano smaller and discontinue the shuffle. We haven’t really heard anything about the iPod Classic this year, but it is sure to get at least a memory upgrade. The iPod Touch is said to be getting dual cameras, and add FaceTime support. We’ll see very soon.

You can watch it live, at 10:00am PDT. Here’s how you can watch it:
