1 million iPhone 3G S sold in first weekend

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 22 Jun 2009 11:22 User comments (6)

Apple has announced today that the company has sold 1 million new iPhone 3G S units its launch weekend. Additionally, over six million customers have downloaded the new iPhone 3.0 software in its first 5 days of release, choosing to upgrade their iPhone or iPod Touch.

“Customers are voting and the iPhone is winning,” added Apple CEO Steve Jobs. “With over 50,000 applications available from Apple’s revolutionary App Store, iPhone momentum is stronger than ever.”

The upgraded iPhone is the most powerful yet, and includes a 600mhz processor, a higher megapixel camera, hands free voice control, a more smudge-resistant screen and many new features that use OS 3.0 but do not function on the original iPhone 3G.

yeah it's worth the buy. As far as the most powerful smartphone, I would have to disagree. The real iPhone killers are in japan. Www.iphonekiller.com BUT I still love my 3g(s)
