I thought I'd get this thread up early, so we can all start the speculation and later the whining and griping. 
The event starts at 10am PT today, so 1pm ET for those on the east coast.
Here are a couple of links to coverage of the event. Please post more, if you know of any.

I, for one, am glad we escaped the bonds of tyranny to arrive at this day!
God Bless the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

You guys on the west coast are lucky! I have to wait nine extra hours to hear about the announcement!
I hope they announce a new iPhone. But I am not really expecting that until MW in Feb. Bump up to 64 GB at least!

No... that one guy in Nebraska says that this is the worst tyranny in our history as a nation, and I don't
know if that is going to interfere with my trip to the Apple Store or not - but he said it.
And he's in government, passing the laws, so he must know tyranny when he sees it! I thought it was just
about me getting health insurance, but apparently it extends to the iSlate too!
