It’s that time again, folks. The day that is looked upon with excitement by fan boys and cynics alike: it’s an Apple announcement day.

Apple has already made it perfectly clear that today’s announcement will bring details about iPhone OS 4.0 – but what ever will they be? Will it multitask? Will there be interface overhauls? Will this new OS singlehandedly eliminate world hunger, disease, and flash floods?

We’re in Cupertino to find out – join us after the jump for a constant stream of updates from our live blog.
The event begins at 10 A.M. Pacific. We will be fielding questions and providing commentary/image from the Apple campus in the time leading up to the event. If you’re just looking for the main event, tune in at 10 A.M. sharp.

APPLE is regularly voted the most innovative company in the world, but its inventiveness takes a particular form. Rather than developing entirely new product categories, it excels at taking existing, half-baked ideas and showing the rest of the world how to do them properly. Under its mercurial and visionary boss, Steve Jobs, it has already done this three times. In 1984 Apple launched the Macintosh. It was not the first graphical, mouse-driven computer, but it employed these concepts in a useful product. Then, in 2001, came the iPod. It was not the first digital-music player, but it was simple and elegant, and carried digital music into the mainstream. In 2007 Apple went on to launch the iPhone. It was not the first smart-phone, but Apple succeeded where other handset-makers had failed, making mobile internet access and software downloads a mass-market phenomenon.

Prior to the announcement of the Yahoo!-Microsoft search agreement, we’d already shared our intention to explore a fee-based structure for BOSS. We continue to explore an appropriate fee structure or other revenue model as we work through the future of BOSS.

a tw article about mobile internet

根據手機廣告平台AdMob的統計，僅這一款手機（包含iPod Touch），就產出了占全球四三％的智慧型手機網頁瀏覽流量。再從與iPhone合作的美國電信商AT&T公開的數字來看，從○七年第二季至今年第二季，AT&T的行動上網流量已經轉眼成長了約二十五倍。
