Rumors for the new Apple TV box include: faster processor, 1080p video support, maybe additional apps (channels), and Siri support--but all of that is completely speculative

Got some pics coming up folks, the Internet connectivity here has been...interesting.

We were talking about how Siri would work on an Apple TV earlier. Katzmaier thought, and I agree, that there's much less room for error in the living room than with a smart phone.

Latest rumors were that the new iPad would be available the Friday after next: March 16. Again, unconfirmed.

Cook's thanking everyone for coming. "We have a great morning planned," Cook says.

First up. "The post-PC revolution." It's happening all around us and at an amazing pace," he says. That's the place where the PC is no longer at the center of that world, he explains.
by Josh Lowensohn
Things need to be more portable, and personal than any PC has been. Cook says the company already has three of those: the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad.
by Josh Lowensohn
"In many ways the iPad is reinventing portable computing, and it's outstripping the wildest of predictions," Cook says.
by Josh Lowensohn
Cook says any company would be happy to have just one, but at Apple they have all three. Last year the company sold 172 million "post-PC" devices.
by Josh Lowensohn
That was 76 percent of the company's revenues. "This is incredible," Cook says.
by Josh Lowensohn
"It plays to our strengths, it's what we love to do," Cook says. First example of that we're getting is retail stores.
by Josh Lowensohn
Cook shows off the Grand Central store in NY. Apple made a video to show off the opening of the store.

Lots of happy people chatting, playing with gadgets.

Will the 1080p Apple TV be the one that makes more people jump on board to buy another piece of hardware?
by Jason Parker
Eddy Cue, Apple SVP up on stage now, giving us a demo of the new hardware. Very app-style looking experience. Instead of the side to side style UI, it's now a big bunch of app-style icons.
by Josh Lowensohn
From Josh: Cook going over iCloud now. Just talking about the features so far, but now it supports Movies, Cook says. Big applause for that. You can re-download movies you've purchased on any of your devices. Also today, Movies and TV shows support 1080p HD.
