Briefly: delayed stream of 'blockbuster' Apple event likely

People familiar with the chief executive's plans for the big day have dubbed it a "blockbuster" event aimed at pushing the envelope of digital media.

Jobs, who makes certain calls based on the magnitude of his keynote announcements, is likely to have a video-on-demand version of the festivities published on Apple's Web site later in the day, those people say.

The event is scheduled for 10:00 am pacific time at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, Calif. Attendance to the event is extremely limited and invite-only.

Digital invitations sent to members of the media last week simply said "It's Showtime."

Jobs and Co. are expected to use the event to launch a full-length feature film service, new iPods and — if the kinks have been knocked out — a streaming device that will more closely wed the company's digital media strategy to the living room home theater.
