It's that time of year for new iPods. Quite a few rumors surrounding this event regarding a new Apple TV, new form factor for the Nano, and an iPhone 4 like iPod Touch. And for the first time since 2002, Apple is live streaming the event. Popular theories on why range from Apple wanting to test out their new datacenter, to this being a way of dealing with the MiFi WiFi problem from the previous event.

For anyone on OS X 10.6, or an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch, the stream will be available at apple.com at 10AM PDT. People on other platforms are out of luck for this one, unless you have a program handy to work with the IETF draft for HTTP live streaming. Apple has a test stream here.
