There is plenty of optimism and speculation as to what we’re going to see today. The big topic is likely to be LTE, specifically upcoming LTE smartphones that will debut on Verizon’s new 4G network through 2011. Though many other things have been stated. On the note of a Verizon iPhone — don’t expect it. With that out of the way, we’re currently standing in line waiting to get in. The Verizon keynote officially kicks off at 8:30am (PST)/11:30am (EST). Hop inside for the show!

/>Tonight’s Microsoft Keynote was full of excitement,
surprise, and lots of Steve Ballmer. The 5,000-person capacity was
certainly tested as people piled into the gigantic room housing the
event for well over an hour. But once everyone got settled, it was
certainly something to behold. You can see live blogs and live

The party goes down at 6:30 (PST) — a mere 29 minutes away. Hop inside and sit tight, we’ll be getting started in just a few…
Looks like all of those Google Chrome Keynote rumors were true. The invite you see above…wasn’t sent to us. Sad, we know. Engadget however, was one of many tech blogs that did receive an invite. The actual content of the event wasn’t disclosed by Google, but the two current favorites circulating the interwebs include the Google Chrome App Store and/or Chrome OS being unveiled.
We’ll definitely be following the event, so make sure you come back here on the 7th to get the full rundown.
Microsoft’s E3 keynote kicked off today with many new and exciting announcements. Obviously since E3 is a gaming trade show, the Xbox 360, Xbox Live, Live Marketplace, and even the Zune were the talk of the town – a sort of “Macworld” for Microsoft junkies where gaming geeks from all walks of life convene to take in, look at, touch, and prod the latest and greatest on the gaming frontier. So what did Microsoft bring to E3 to wow customers? The full list is inside (sans pictures and straight to the point).
This recap is a very short one, apparently there isn’t much of excitement here.
Keynote
