The fun starts at 10 a.m. PST (1 p.m. EST). A guide to the proceedings.
[UPDATE: It's official. There will be no live webcast. My colleague Michael Copeland will be live blogging from inside the auditorium. I'll be following the action from Brooklyn here.]
Assuming Apple (AAPL) provides a live webcast of the event -- as it has for the last two -- here's what we'll be looking for:
