Hasta La Gadget!

So we’re in San Francisco for Macworld Expo 2009, as witnesses to Apple’s last hurrah at the venerable expo. Born of the time when people disseminated info face to face at Mac User groups (MUGs), this could be the last Macworld Expo in the US. While we hope that’s not the case, without the major presence of Apple and Adobe it will be tough for IDG to keep producing this show (the same thing happened to COMDEX, PC Expo, and Ziff Davis’ Digital Life shows). Bookmark this page for the keynote, LIVE on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at 9am PST (10AM MT, 11AM CT, 12PM ET).

So stay tuned true believers, we’re going to give you the usual play by play courtesy of Joel Santo Domingo, Desktop Analyst at PCMag.com and Jamie Lendino, blogger and editor for PCMag Digital networks. Joel has covered Macs since the late 1990s Apple renaissance, and you may know Jamie from smartdevicecentral.com, so both the (rumored) new Macs and iPhones will be covered. We’ll try to interject our usual opinionated color commentary in the liveblog stream, so stay tuned and keep hitting F5!

New comments will appear at the top of the post, to reduce unneeded scrolling, then we’ll do a post-keynote analysis after Phil Schiller gets off the stage. Look for hands-on reports once we figure out what’s really being announced at the show.

[Joel and Jamie are in the audience already; transmissions about to start! Check after the jump for the live blog.]
