I personally hope these are signs of Apple being more opened to the community. I can't stop dreaming about an Apple being so opened as Microsoft is
I don't think something like Channel 9 would really fit the Apple culture well. The Leopard Techtalks, on the other hand, do seem to fit well because the message is much more clear. A much better signal-to-noise ratio.
I think that interview you did with Robert Scoble did a good job of highlighting the differences between the two approaches. Things that work well for Microsoft don't directly translate to Apple.
There's been quite a lot of community activity with Mac developers, and I think Apple is looking to make use of that, but I think they're probably going to do it their own way.
