1 Million iPhones and 10 Million Applications Sold

A little bit of an old news article piece here, but astounding nonetheless. Last week, statistics were released on the App Store and on the iPhone 3G sales. Most of our readers know that the 3G sold almost 1 Million worldwide. We don't know how many they sold in the US only, but compared to last years 1st Gen sales, they aren't that great.
