Bellevue, Wash. - Wireless carrier T-Mobile USA (NYSE: DT) plans in the fall to launch a platform similar to Apple's App Store for the iPhone, which will allow almost any developer to create applications for all of the carrier's handset line, MocoNews reported, citing multiple unnamed sources.

Cupertino, Calif. - Apple (NASD: AAPL) has served up more than 60 million applications for the iPhone and iPod touch since the company opened its App Store a month ago, netting the company about $30 million, or an average of $1 million a day, chief executive Steve Jobs told The Wall Street Journal. "This thing's going to crest a half a billion soon. Who knows, maybe it will be a $1 billion marketplace at some point in time," Jobs said.

At the current rate, the company is on track to see $360 million in annual App Store sales.

Cupertino, Calif. - Apple (NASD: AAPL) reported on Monday that it sold one million iPhone 3Gs in the device's first weekend on sale in 21 countries, while the new App Store for both the new and first-generation iPhone racked up 10 million downloads. "iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend. It took 74 days to sell the first one million original iPhones, so the new iPhone 3G is clearly off to a great start around the world," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

Cupertino, Calif. - Apple's (NASD: AAPL) long-awaited iPhone 2.0 software became available on Thursday when the company released the latest version of its iTunes software (7.7), in a surprise that allowed iPhone owners to start browsing the over 550 applications available in the new App Store a day early, Macrumors reported. Among the applications that are now available for current-generation iPhone owners are lots of games, a voice recorder, e-books, price comparisons, versions of social networks including Facebook, MySpace, Loopt, Limbo and Shozu, and media applications such as Pandora Radio.

San Francisco - As expected, Apple (NASD: AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs on Monday unveiled the new iPhone 3G, which he says is "twice as fast" as the first-generation model and will sell in the U.S. for $199 (8GB) or $299 (16GB) beginning on July 11. Apple also introduced iPhone 2.0 software, also to release on July 11, which will include support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, over-the-air push e-mail, remote wipe and Cisco IPsec VPN for encrypted access to corporate networks.
