Apple iPhone sales reaches 1 Million in 3 Days
Seems like iPhone is still hot in the Global markets. The new 3G model released Friday July 11th reached this record in three days. It took 74 days to reach the million mark when the phone was initially launched in the US market.
Associated Press Reports:
Apple Inc. (AAPL) said Monday it has sold 1 million iPhones in the three days following the release of the latest model on Friday. “IPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, in a statement.
But the launch was plagued by software problems. All the new iPhones had to connect to Apple’s servers for activation, which quickly overloaded them. Lines of customers built in stores as employees were unable to get the phones working.
Additionally, new software was released for the old iPhone, which required reactivation of those phones. Many owners of the older phone were left with unusable units.
Reports of activation problems subsided over the weekend, as the servers apparently recovered, and buyers were able to activate their phones through their home computers.
The iPhone 3G was launched simultaneously in 21 countries, including the U.S.
Apple had sold about 6 million units of the first-model iPhone since it launched in the U.S. a year ago. The company has set a goal of selling 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008.
Shares of Apple rose $4.83, or 2.8%, to $177.57 in morning trading.
Apple also said users of the iPhone and iPod touch had downloaded more than 10 million applications from its new App Store since it went online on Thursday.
Of the store’s 800 applications, a quarter are free. Most of the rest cost less than $10. Programs include news browsers, AOL Instant Messenger software, games and Web radio players.

WINDOWS KEY SHORTCUTS
The Windows key can be used in conjunction with other keys to act as a
keyboard shortcut for faster access to menu commands. Now, while the Alt key
tends to open program menus (ex: Alt+F opens the File menu and Alt+E opens
the Edit menu) and the Ctrl key performs actual operations (ex: Ctrl+C will
copy and Ctrl+V will paste), the Windows key will open various Windows
tools…
Win key + R will open the Start menu’s Run box
Win key + F will open the Start menu’s Find window
Win key + E will quickly launch Explorer
Win key + Pause/Break will open the System Properties window
Win key + M will Minimize all windows
Win key + Shift + M will undo Minimize all windows
Win key + D will switch between minimizing all open programs and showing
them all
Win key + Tab will cycle through items on the taskbar
Win key by itself will open the Start menu
You can also open programs or folders on your desktop by pressing the
Windows key + the first letter of the program/folder/shortcut + Enter .
Sounds kinda tedious, but if you’re in a bind with your mouse, it can come
in quite handy.
ARROW TRICKS
Here’s a cool little arrow trick to try with word processing programs. Next
time you’re using your arrow keys to go from one area of a sentence to
another (left and right arrows), hold down your CTRL key. Instead of moving
one space at a time, you’ll go one word at a time.
If you’re using the up and down arrows to go from line to line, holding down
the CTRL key will make your cursor jump from paragraph to paragraph (well,
from carriage return to carriage return anyway).
One last thing, if you hold down the SHIFT key while you do this (i.e. hold
down SHIFT + CTRL at the same time), you select text as you arrow along.
I’ve tested this in MS Word and Wordpad, but it *should* work no matter what
word processing program you use.
HOME / END KEY FUN
Do you ever find yourself scrolling through a huge folder ? Well, if you
need to get to the beginning or the end quickly, just press Ctrl+Home . If
you want to get to the end, click Ctrl+End.
Hey, that’s not all!
This little trick works on more than just folders. If you use the Home key
in a word processor, it goes to the beginning of the line you’re currently
working on. If you hit the END key, it should head to the end of the current
line. If you pair Home & End up with the Ctrl key in a word processor, you
will be whisked away to the beginning or end of the document. Again, this
should work, but it depends on your word processor.
Speedup your work by using keyboard more and mouse less.
