    Apple sells one million new 3G iPhones over weekend

    By Colbert | July 15, 2008

    Great job, Steve Jobs. Apple has sold one million new iPhones over weekend and it would seem that the server problem on Friday did not hamper the spirit of people who want a piece of this new gadget. Its crazy. People camping out in the cold just to be the first. I heard some people in Hong Kong camped for 3 days. Hahaha. Imagine the toilet problem. Well, I won’t be getting one soon until they fix the copy/paste problem. I love my Nokia N95.

    The original iPhone, introduced in late June 2007 in the United States only, sold about 270,000 units in its first two days. Sales topped one million by early September. The new device is sold in 21 countries.

    “IPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,” Apple’s chief executive, Steven P. Jobs, said in a statement.

    Steven Hodges, president for the Northeast region for AT&T, Apple’s only carrier in the United States, would not disclose how many iPhones it had sold, but he said the iPhone would be AT&T’s key device for the holiday shopping season this year.

    Still, iPhone sales pale compared with those of established mobile phone makers, like Nokia, which sells almost 10 million phones a week, or the Samsung Electronics Company or LG Electronics, which each ship more than 100 million a year.
