This page will serve as our live coverage for Apples 2009 Music Event for September 9th. You don’t need to refresh this page to see updates, they will appear at the top of the list below automatically.
The event is due to start at 10AM pacific daylight time, but we will open the feed a little early.

The changes include the following:
8GB iPod Touch: $189 was $229 (reduced $40)
32GB Touch: $279 was $399 ($120)
