Apple announced that its sold 1 MILLION iPhone 3G devices. And over 10 MILLION applications have been downloaded from the iTunes Application store.

Since last Thursday.

Think about that. A MILLION devices, and 10 MILLION apps. In just over three days. On a completely new platform. That you had to pay money for. To queue for.

Anyone who thinks the iPhone is uninportant, or is some consumer fad, is talking bollocks. Complete and utter bollocks.

Welcome to the new moble smartphone future. In the blue corner - BlackBerry - supporting the corporate user. And in the white corner - iPhone - aimed initially at the consumer.

Gravatar Image2 - Well if my experience with my brand new (free and -£60 per year on my contract), N95 8GB is anything to go by, I can understand why people are looking at the iphone.

The media player is crap and the OS is (like all symbian S60 rubbish), slooooowwwww.

However when I had loaded up the 1.7 gig of European maps it told me that I was standing in my garden and gave me my house number when I moved the focus to the street. So that goal has been achieved, 0 cost satnav (given that I need the Vodafone contract anyway). The 5mp camera won't go amiss either and the wlan connected to my pain in the arse Wanadoo Livebox first time so kudos.
