Video: BoomTown Zings, Dings and Pings (Manilow) at Apple Music Event

Here is a lovely movie from the Apple iPod, iPad, iTumes, TV and, now, Ping event yesterday in San Francisco. (Yes, this is a photo of me channeling Walt Mossberg in a chat with CEO Steve Jobs in the demo area.) It includes the you-are-there shots of Jobs onstage, as well as scenes from the media throng and more, as the tech giant unveiled updates, additions and renovations of old stuff and also launched new stuff.

Earlier today, BoomTown hoofed it to downtown San Francisco to join a pair of All Things Digital A-Team members–Walt Mossberg and Katie Boehret–at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, where CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the newest version of the iconic mobile device, iPhone 4. As usual, I had to snark it up with a video of the proceedings at the Moscone Center West, where over 5,000 of the Apple faithful gathered to kibitz and ogle. Cue the excessive oohing and aahing.

Scenes From the Apple iPad Day: Is It a Thneed or an iPod XL?

BoomTown captured some bits and pieces of tasty video as I attended the Apple rollout of its newest device, the iPad, yesterday. There are shots of the action in San Francisco outside and inside the launch hall and demo area, as well as interviews with the folks gathered–some of whom liked the iPad and some of whom were dubious.

Jobs Back on the Job?

A quote from Steve Jobs in an Apple press release this morning and a handful of media reports claiming he has been spotted at Apple HQ over the past few days are raising hopes that the CEO may have officially returned to work.
