Watch the Windows Phone 8 event here [Update: it's over]

Microsoft's event in San Francisco will see the official launch of their new mobile phone OS, Windows Phone 8, and you can be a part of it, even if you're not in town (or didn’t get an invite).

Here's the live stream where you can watch the event as it unfolds and you can also head over to the Windows Phone Facebook page to join the conversation and vote for your favorite feature. You can also watch the live stream on Microsoft's web site.

Update: It's over, here's the recording. The action starts at 3 hours 6 minutes (note that the player uses Silverlight).

We'll be covering the event, so make sure to check back with us to find out what's new.
