Apple's October event is creeping ever closer, and now the Cupertino, Calif. company has closed its Apple Online Store while also confirming that the iPad-themed media event will indeed be live streamed both online and to Apple TVs.
The news comes following the appearance of an "Apple Events" channel on Apple TVs around the world. As such, a few hours ago we guessed that Apple was planning on offering a live video stream of its media event; according to the company's recently updated website, this is now confirmed to be the case.
