Today, October 20th at 10 AM PST (07 PM CET), Apple invited the press to their “Back to the Mac” media event in Cupertino, California. iPhone, iPad and the iPod are quite important … but there sure are the MacBooks, MacBook Pros, the iMacs, the Mac Pros and the Mac OS X as a base for all the success. So it’ll be quite interesting to watch what Steve Jobs will present us today.
As Fortune reported, viewing the live stream requires Safari on Mac OS X 10.6 or an iPhone/iPod touch with iOS 3.0 or better … or an iPad.

Stay tuned for the Live Streaming URL.

[UPDATE] Here’s the live stream: http://www.apple.com/apple-events/october-2010/

It’s quite interesting to go into the browser / OS marketshare statistics Net Applications is gathering.
Within the last 12 months, the marketshare of Apple Mac OS X powered computers increased from 6.38% in Feb 2007 to 7.57% in Jan 2008 – a growth rate of about 19%. This great news for the Mac community – but what’s really surprising is the significant marketshare of iPhone surfers in the last month. The iPhone was introduced to the US market on June 29th 2007 – and in Jan 2008 it’s internet surfer worldwide market share is 0.13% according to the Net Applications. Focussing only on the US market it’s share is even higher at 0.20%!
It looks like the iPhone really fuels the use of mobile internet.
