Not a huge surprise here, but Apple’s just announced ITunes 10, complete with a brand new logo that finally ditches the CD. What is something of a surprise, however is the standout feature: Ping.

This one’s pretty self-explanatory, but no less significant — Apple’s sold 275 million of those ubiquitous white earbuds since it swallowed the portable audio market whole a few years back.

Steve Jobs just dropped a few numbers on us. Firstly, that big one above, 120 million iOS devices have been shipped since the iPhone’s 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.

After the overt teasing , leaking , and then more leaking , Microsoft’s finally ready to spit out the details on its Arc Touch Mouse , which at the end of the day is really just… a mouse. As we’ve seen, the peripheral has an incredibly unique design — the flat device arches its back to click into a mountain shape, which actually ends up powering the little rodent up. So, where does the whole “touch” factor come into play? Well, very similarly to the Mad Catz Eclipse mouse, the Arc Touch has a capacitive touch strip with sensor pads between the mouse buttons that can be used for scrolling and customizable shortcuts. We’ve got you covered with some hands-on impressions and video after the break, but that’s about all you’ll be getting for a while since the press release below says the $69.95 mouse won’t hit the market until December. Yep, December! That’s a bit odd to us, but they’ll be taking pre-orders today so hit the break to finally see this thing push the cursor around.
