Significance of 9:42?

In every advertisement, and the in-store demos, the time at the top of the simulated iPhone screen is "9:42". Does anyone know if there is any significance to this time?

mgg4,

After inspecting the keynote further I can confirm 9:42 is the exact time the iPhone was introduced to the public.

Hopefully this information has helped you out!

Google 9:42

While you're @ it ponder why the iPhone almost always has 9 unread Emails, 2 missed calls and 1 unread text in their ads.

Coincidence... or just things that happen to be the same? One will never know!

I can tell you one thing though:

Whoever was making those ads for the iPhone probably wasn't using the iPhone much what w/ all the missed calls, unread emails/text messages, etc...

You all were starting to freak me out.. I thought for a second there this was going to be another "THE NUMBER 23" epic!

THE NUMBER 9:42
Starring Steve Jobs

"Trailer": "The number is everywhere...It's on my World Clock, I see it on YouTube, I have 942 pictures, Apple stocks have gone up $9.42, it's on my calculator, I have 9 missed calls, 4 emails, and today is the 2nd on my iCal.. Aaaggghhh!! It's everywhere on my "iPhone"...the Number has now got a hold of me...."
