Apple iPhone 3G S sells 1M units in first three days
Apple: More than 1M new-model iPhones sold - Yahoo! Finance
Apple Inc. sold more than a million units of its latest iPhone model in the first three days, making it the most successful debut for a smart phone yet.What's that....a liver transplant!!!Customers are voting and the iPhone is winning," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. It was the first time he was quoted in a company statement since he went on leave for unspecified medical reasons in January. The company has said that Jobs, who has battled pancreatic cancer, is returning to work at the end of the month.
The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday that Jobs had a liver transplant two months ago in Tennessee and that he will likely work part-time, at least initially. Apple has not commented on the report.
Steve Jobs' Liver Transplant Apple Board "Not Doing Its Job" But The WSJ Did Top Editor Says: Tech Ticker, Yahoo! Finance
Letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs
We need our doc to explain how we get from a hormone imbalance that is a relatively simple nutritional problem to a liver transplant?Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors think they have found the cause—a hormone imbalance that has been “robbing” me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis.
The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I’ve already begun treatment. But, just like I didn’t lose this much weight and body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this Spring to regain it. I will continue as Apple’s CEO during my recovery.

To be fair, one of them was a purchase for someone else. Only one was for him.

Well, see, if I never had a previous version of an iPhone, I don't think it would be fair to call me a brainwashed-noob-who-thinks-Steve-Jobs-is-God if I bought a 3Gs.

Maybe so.. but I got mine, because it saved me over $65 per month (Bundled my Services), so it made sense... Originally Posted by BaldEagle I didn't say noob just pre-brainwashed by your peers.

It's not mandatory...at least it wasn't for EDGE. The phone can still use WiFi without the data package. Originally Posted by SuperDouche
