Quite amazingly last night was the first time I read about Apple's October 16th announcement which is nearly certainly about a new range of Apple iPads.
The usual timetable seems to be announce the product and then about 10 days later, usually the Friday (for iPhones so perhaps also for iPads), Apple makes the devices available in-store to the public. I have a feeling this is to seed the first sales on the Friday to beat up demand and get the weekend sales. Usually on the day of announcement pre-orders can be taken for delivery around the Friday.
Now if you're interested in the announcement and want the latest news as it is happening, the announcement is made at Apple's head office, usually starting around 9:30 am their local time. By 10 am most of the news has hit the online press. Some time after Apple publishes a to link to a recording of the event on their site so you can watch the announcement at your leisure. I actually like to watch the announcement as often there are some titbits which I'm interested in that the general media isn't.
In terms of local time in Melbourne, I believe this would be around 3:30 am on Friday morning. Some people stay up to watch sport. Some people stay up for the latest news. I think I might just be sleeping at that time;-)
