Apple's iPhone App Store, as long expected, passed the 100,000 app mark today.  Apple has been counting down the milestones since the store opened, last mentioning 85,000 in a conference call last month.  There are some interesting trends developing, however, that put that number into perspective.

MediaMemo today reported that Apple has been shopping a $30/month, all you can watch TV service to the networks that would compete with Hulu and to a lesser extent cable.  The service would be built into iTunes and run across all of Apple's products.  To me this has tablet written all over it.

By most accounts, the iPhone's debut in China has been lackluster. Figures at the only Apple Store in Mainland China are incredibly bad. They sold 10 on Saturday and only one on Sunday. The Apple Store manager hopes that sales pick up during the week.

This, in a nation of 1.3 billion people and almost 800 million mobile users. In fact, China's leading mobile carrier has more subscribers than the US has citizens.

What's the problem?

NetNewsWire is the most popular RSS newsreader client on the Macintosh. It isn't just my favorite; the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg and many others mark it as their favorite way to read news on the Mac.

I thought it would be interesting to talk to Brent Simmons, the developer behind NetNewsWire, about the recent changes in the application and where it is heading.

Steve Jobs famously touts AppleTV as "just a hobby". –Like something they work on on weekends, sometimes. If they get around to it.

You'd think that Google just invented a way to make cars fly from the reaction to its new navigation software today.

Will Apple's customers buy the 27-inch Cinema Display for use as a monitor? I think so; here's why.

This may sound strange, but I believe there exists a certain subset of users out there who may be tempted to upgrade their PCs to Mac OS X rather than Windows 7. Here's why.

Apple hasn't had a flagship Macintosh lately; each model has had its area of specialization. The Mac Pros have always been the fastest but they have a very limited appeal. The MacBooks are the most popular. The Pro laptops are probably the ones to be seen with when out and about.

All of that just fell by the wayside. The new 27-inch iMac now is the "Mac to have".

Y'all know how this works right? Apple Store goes down. Fanboys go nuts. Apple Store comes back up bearing gifts?

...and there are more price cuts coming this quarter.

Apple lowered its price points on several line of its most popular products this year. This quarter shows that tightening the margins a bit had a huge effect on sales which also broadened Apple's market share. That, in turn, lit up Apple's stock price to well over $200.

That's it. 3.05 Million Macs for the Quarter, almost 8 million iPhones, both Apple's best quarter ever.

You've probably seen the new Verizon Droid ad, if you were watching sports at all this weekend. But in case you haven't, I've put it below. Inconsistent apostrophes included.

Apple sent an email to iPhone developers announcing that they would now allow free applications to use the In-App purchasing mechanism. At first glance, this may not seem like a big deal, but it has the capacity to fundamentally change the way Apple's App Store ecosystem work. Here's why:

Out of a seemingly inconsequential iMovie 8.0.5 update came some fairly big news if you are into the Apple video-editing scene.  Apple has released a new Video format called iFrame.  Why?
