Keynote speeches offer a hint as to where Apple is going and what they are just around the corner from releasing. They’re one of the most sought after videos released from Apple. Finally, users of iTunes can subscribe, for free, to the keynote speeches by Steve Jobs and other important speakers.

It’s been a long time coming, and for some reason Apple has continuously changed how they’ve delivered keynote speeches to viewers. They used to be live, but now people have to wait until the presentation is over to view video of the presentation.

Apple’s new keynote subscription function currently has a couple MWSF (MacWorld San Francisco) keynotes and the iPhone software roadmap (a great video that introduces the App store).

It was hard to look past the markets more than 300 point decline due to jobless claims and oils $10+ leap per barrel in one day. But something was quite curious about Apple’s stock. It was down, and down more than $3 per share going into the WWDC.

While almost the entire market suffered losses, Apple should have been bought. We’re going into a weekend before the WWDC, when speculation will run rampant and more news will hit the street. Then on Monday, Steve Jobs will be set to take the stage in one of the most anticipated keynote speeches ever.

Set to release an updated 3G iPhone, possible operating system information (i.e. rumors about OS X 10.6 – Snow Leopard), information on a new .Mac platform, and a host of new revisions, Jobs is going to have plenty to show the street.
