Four days after removing a reader-found Web page confirming a QuickTime stream of Steve Jobs’ upcoming Tokyo keynote address, Apple has reposted the same page, but has made no official announcement.
The keynote will be streamed on a delayed, archived basis. As a result, when it will be available for playback is not known. Last Friday when Apple initially announced plans to stream the event, the address was to have been broadcast via a live stream. The stream will be a first for the Tokyo Macworld show, which will take place February 22nd through 24th. Industry analysts speculate Jobs will use the keynote to debut new consumer products, possibly including a new line of iMac systems.
MacCentral readers found a Web page posted on Apple’s servers confirming the address from Tokyo’s Makuhari Messe Event Hall last Friday, but the company removed the page once news leaked out.
The keynote address from Macworld Expo in Tokyo begins at 10 a.m. Tokyo time on Thursday, 5 p.m. PST, 8 p.m. EST on Wednesday, or 0200 GMT.
Update: Apple has provided the satellite broadcast information for Steve Jobs’ keynote at Macworld Expo/Tokyo 2001. The satellite feed will begin a few minutes prior to the start of the keynote.
