Apple today announced it sold its one millionth iPhone 3G on Sunday, just three days after its launch on Friday, July 11. iPhone 3G is now available in 21 countries-Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the US-and will go on sale in France on July 17.

“iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “It took 74 days to sell the first one million original iPhones, so the new iPhone 3G is clearly off to a great start around the world.”

Last time, Apple managed to sell their first millionth of its first generation iPhone in about 2 months.

 

Apple today announced that iPhone and iPod touch users have already downloaded more than 10 million applications from its new App Store since its launch late last week. Developers have created a wide array of innovative mobile applications ranging from games to location-based social networking to medical applications to enterprise productivity tools. More than 800 native applications are now available on the App Store, with more than 200 offered for free and more than 90 percent priced at less than $10.

“The App Store is a grand slam, with a staggering 10 million applications downloaded in just three days,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Developers have created some extraordinary applications, and the App Store can wirelessly deliver them to every iPhone and iPod touch user instantly.”

The App Store on iPhone works over cellular networks and Wi-Fi, it is also available in iTunes (www.itunes.com) running on a Mac or PC, which syncs applications to the iPhone or iPod touch using a USB cable.

Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) announced today that it has sold 1 million of its new 3G iPhones in the first three days since its debut on Friday.

“iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “It took 74 days to sell the first one million original iPhones, so the new iPhone 3G is clearly off to a great start around the world.”

Bloomberg reports that the sales figures are double than what analysts were predicting. Half of Apple’s 187 U.S. stores were already sold out as of last night, while AT&T (NYSE: T), its U.S. network partner, reported that nearly all of its 2,000 stores were out of the phones. A similar story for carriers in the UK, Germany, Canada and Japan, which reported their stores had run out of the iPhones.

Apple is also reporting that its iPhone App Store has already seen over 10 million downloads since its launch late last week. Apple did not offer a breakdown, but the 10-million download figure includes both paid and free apps.

The Federal Communications Commission announced the clearance of field-testing prototype TV white-spaces devices, proof that the FCC is looking into opening up more airwaves to Wi-Fi and other unlicensed wireless devices (so long as interference to digital broadcast signals isn't an issue).

Basically in English this means the FCC will sample various signals across TV white spaces to see if devices and services can be used on the empty spectrum between analog TV channels without causing interference. The FCC has already conducted several rounds of testing, most successfully but with a few failures.

If tests continue to be successful the FCC could authorize use of these white spaces for consumer devices in the future; which would essentially revolutionize the wireless industry.
