Mactels are looking more likely, despite comments earlier in the day, thanks to an invitation I've just received from Apple. It's for the 10th and it's a chance to attend a live satellite broadcast of Steve Jobs' MacWorld keynote in San Francisco. Apple hasn't bothered with the last few keynotes. In fact, the last time they ran a satellite feed for Euro journos was over two years ago in Berlin – and that was for the launch of the first Power Mac G5s.
However, they're not flying us out to Berlin (curses) as they did in 2003: we're having to make our way over to White City and the BBC this time. This suggests that maybe it's not something as dramatic. Maybe the BBC and other broadcasters have signed up for the iTunes Music Store. Or maybe it's that media distribution network that Think Secret was on about. So I'm only upping Mactels to 90% likelihood.
Incidentally, Bite PR – if you're reading this – I know it wasn't you who sent out the invites, but you did promise to put me on the Apple events list. I got my invite to the event via... LinuxUser & Developer. Could you give Apple a little nudge about its priorities? Ta.
