10:46AM "So here's my new hybrid view... it doesn't take any extra space. So I'm going to click Ping. This is my feed. I'm following Jack Johnson, he posted some photos. I guess he's on tour. And Philip has written a post -- I can write a comment too. I don't know how to spell.... and I can post a comment."

10:44AM "You can get as private or as public as you want, and it's super simple to set up. You can post your opinions and thoughts when you want to..." Will Apple be policing this? We'd like to know. If this is going to be App Store style... well... uh...

10:43AM "Super easy to use, and again, most of us will live in our feed right here. So, Ping is for social music discovery. You can follow people and you can be followed. Most artists will hold their hand up and say 'you can follow me' -- you can hold your hand up and say that as well, or you can say 'people can follow me but I have to approve who follows me.' Then you can set up a circle of friends. You can have you and your 10 buddies but no one else."

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/09/ipod-liveblog-2010-0088-rm-eng.jpg
10:10AM "Another thing we're adding is Game Center. Game Center is all about multiplayer games. You can challenge your friends or they can challenge you, and if you don't have any friends we'll match you with someone." Ha!

10:00AM The lights have dimmed and the music is off! And Steve is out!
9:59AM We just got the warning message to silence our phones. Things should be getting underway soon!
9:58AM The gist so far is mellow, acoustic music. We're sure that has nothing to do with that gigantic acoustic guitar hanging outside the venue. Nothing at all.
9:57AM Okay, we think this is Jack Johnson now, but we don't know his catalog well enough to be sure. It's extremely mellow and smooth though. Does that sound like him?

10:43AM "Super easy to use, and again, most of us will live in our feed right here. So, Ping is for social music discovery. You can follow people and you can be followed. Most artists will hold their hand up and say 'you can follow me' -- you can hold your hand up and say that as well, or you can say 'people can follow me but I have to approve who follows me.' Then you can set up a circle of friends. You can have you and your 10 buddies but no one else."

10:40AM "Of course we have Cover Flow, and we have the iTunes store. Now one of the biggest things we focused on with iTunes is discovery. How do you find out about new stuff? People are always asking, what are my friends listening to? What are my favorite artists up to? There must be a better way."

More on that in a little bit. Let me show you how it works."

10:14AM Steve is back.
10:14AM "Thanks everyone!"
10:14AM "Okay, I'm gonna take the gloves off -- let's see what you've got. I may be little but I'm really fast. The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Well, the smaller knight won, and the crowd here loved it. What does that say about this audience? The world may never know.

10:13AM They're showing off multiplayer battles in the game -- knight versus knight. "I'm just dragging moves on my screen... here I'm going to drag my boot on your face." Big laughs for that one.

10:10AM "Another thing we're adding is Game Center. Game Center is all about multiplayer games. You can challenge your friends or they can challenge you, and if you don't have any friends we'll match you with someone." Ha!
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/09/ipod-liveblog-2010-0082-rm-eng.jpg
10:09AM It appears to be matching a set of different white balances to make detail pop more.

10:00AM The lights have dimmed and the music is off! And Steve is out!
9:59AM We just got the warning message to silence our phones. Things should be getting underway soon!
9:58AM The gist so far is mellow, acoustic music. We're sure that has nothing to do with that gigantic acoustic guitar hanging outside the venue. Nothing at all.
9:57AM Okay, we think this is Jack Johnson now, but we don't know his catalog well enough to be sure. It's extremely mellow and smooth though. Does that sound like him?
