Apple ships 120 million iOS devices since iPhone’s launch
1 Set
Steve Jobs just dropped a few numbers on us. Firstly, that big one above, 120 million iOS devices — that’s iPhones, iPod touches and iPads, for the forgetful in the class — have been shipped since the original iPhone made its grand debut back in 2007. 230,000 is the next number of significance — that’s the tally of daily iOS activations. Moving down to even more granular stats, Apple says 200 apps are being downloaded every second, which has resulted in the mind-bending 6.5 billion total downloads of iOS applications. This is from a catalog of over 250,000 total apps, with 25,000 of them being available for the iPad.

Apple to livestream its fall event
1 Set
Hey, do you hate reading? Well, finally Apple is feeling your pain. Today at 7 PM, Apple will stream its fall event directly to your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod as it unfolds. Of course, if you’re a Windows user or you’re wielding some kind of satanic Android device, you’ll be out of luck apparently. Unless we’re misreading this line: "Viewing requires either a Mac running Safari on Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard, an iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or higher, or an iPad."
At any rate, you can tune to the livestream at apple.com
