Jobs is speaking on CNN Live now...

Also, this was just posted on MacWorld.com:

appletv

Jobs then revealed the final name of the product he first revealed during a special event in September, 2006 -- then named "iTV." The final product is called appletv.

The appletv wireless connects your digital media to your widescreen TV, said Jobs. The device includes power, USB 2.0, Ethernet, built-in Wi-Fi, HDMI, component video, audio and optical audio ports on its back.

The appletv is capable of displaying 720p HD video, and incorporates its own 40GB hard drive, said Jobs -- capable of storing up to 50 hours of video.

The appletv uses the new 802.11n draft standard, said jobs -- a faster wireless networking technology. "And it has an Intel processor in it, so it's got processing horsepower to do the kinds of UI we like to do," he added.

The appletv auto-syncs content from one computer and can stream content from up to five computers, said Jobs. "Just like you can set up an iPod, you can set up an appletv," he explained. It works directly from iTunes. Computers that stream content to the appletv don't store their content on the drive, but users can watch it live via the network.

Jobs then demonstrated the appletv, showing the interface, playing movie trailers and clips from television shows. He added that the appletv can also be used for digital still images and music. "When it's playing a song, the album art appears and there's an iTunes-like interface. Every ten seconds or so it flips the positions so it doesn't burn in your LCD TV," he said.

Apple senior vice president of worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller then took the stage with Jobs, MacBook in hand, to demonstrate how the appletv works with someone else's computer. Jobs went to the Sources menu, chose Connect to New iTunes and put in a PIN number. Schiller then entered that number on his copy of iTunes, and connected. Then Schiller streamed a clip from television shows stored locally on his MacBook.

The appletv is priced at $299, and is shipping in February, 2007. Jobs said that Apple is taking orders starting today.

The iPhone

"This is a day I've been looking forward to for two and a half years," said Jobs. "Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything."

In 1984, said Jobs, Apple introduced the Macintosh, and changed the computer industry. In 2001, Apple introduced the iPod, and changed the entire music industry.

"Well, today, we're introducing three revolutionary products of this class," said Jobs. "The first one is a widescreen iPod with touch controls. The second is a revolutionary mobile phone. The third is a breakthrough Internet communications device."

"These are not three separate devices," said Jobs. "This is one device. And we are calling it iPhone. Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone."

Jobs explained that smartphones provide phone and e-mail and what he called "the baby Internet. They're not so smart and not so easy to use."

"We don't want to do these," he said. "We want to do a leapfrog product that's way smarter than these phones and much easier to use. So we're going to reinvent the phone."

The iPhone does not use a keyboard, nor does it use a stylus, as many smartphones do today. The device uses new technology called "Multitouch."

"We're going to use the best pointing device in our world," said Jobs. "We're born with 10 of them, our fingers."

Multitouch is far more accurate than any touch display, according to Jobs. It ignores unintended touches, supports multi-fingers gesture. "And boy, have we patented it," he added.

The iPhone runs Mac OS X, said Jobs. "We start with a solid foundation," he explained.

"Why would we run such a sophisticated operating system on a mobile device? It's got everything we need," he said. "It's got multitasking, networking, power management, awesome security and the right apps. It's got all the stuff we want. And it's built right in to iPhone. And has let us create desktop-class applications and networking.

iPhone also synchronizes through iTunes. It syncs media, contact information, calendars, photos, notes, bookmarks, e-mail accounts. "All that stuff can be moved over the iPhone completely automatically," said Jobs.

The iPhone features a 3.5-inch, 160 dot-per-inch color screen. There's a small "Home" button it. It's also remarkably thin -- 11.6 millimeters, thinner than any smartphone out there, according to Jobs.

On one side, the iPhone sports a ring/silent switch, volume up and down controls. On its silver back side is a 2 megapixel digital camera. The bottom features a speaker, microphone and iPod dock connector.
