1 million iPhone 3G S sold in first weekend

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.

We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
