What? Apple’s in the news for a change? Surely that can’t be so.
Believe it folks – it has been a whole 3 minutes since Apple last dominated the world’s technology news. Here’s the latest:
3 million iPads sold in less than 3 months
Despite numerous folks asking what exactly the point of Apple’s iPad is, fans have clearly found a need, nay a devotion, to the thing.
According to Mashable:
Apple has announced that it’s sold 3 million iPads -– less than three months since the device hit stores.
…
It would appear that iPad sales aren’t slowing down at all since launch – in fact, they might be accelerating. The company announced it had hit two million devices sold just 22 days ago, whereas it took the company 28 days to sell its first million devices, and another month to sell its second. With the device going on sale in more countries in July, those numbers could jump even faster.
Not too shabby. By the way, I see you still haven’t bought me one yet. What exactly is the delay? Maaitjie FAIL.
First iPhone 4 reviews coming in
According to Wired some tech journos managed to get their hands on the new iPhone 4, and their reviews are starting to come in. Here’s the crux of it:
The reviewers agreed that the iPhone 4’s hardware is state-of-the-art industrial design.
Detailed enough for you? Yes? No? Maybe?
Unfortunately the majority of the snippets deal more with moaning about America’s (apparently) rather rubbish AT&T network – seeing as the phone is locked to them, a la Vodacom here in South Africa, – and less about the phone itself.
Dear iPhone 4 reviewers cited in the article
There are other countries on the planet too. Yes, that is correct – Earth does not consist solely of the good ol’ US of A. Capeish? We want to know about the phone, not your FAIL networks.
The iPhone 4 goes on sale tomorrow (Thursday 24 June) in the US, the UK, France, Germany and Japan. And in South Africa? Who knows…
Just incidentally, I want one. In case you were wondering. So whenever you get around to buying me that iPad you promised, feel free to throw in an iPhone 4 for good measure. Thanks, you’re a legend!
