Orders for iPhone 4G top 600 000

Who does not own any electronic gadgets nowadays? Due to technology, I strongly believe everyone at least own either a handphone, laptop or mp3 player, isn't it?

I believe these years Apple has proved itself successful by releasing many new products such as iphone, MacBook Pro and recently, iPad and iPhone 4G. These products have definitely caught the world's attention. I believe few years ago, Microsoft was once famous but it seemed Apple had overtaken its place. Whenever we look for a mp3 player, normally we will think of ipod nano isn't it? Perhaps due to its branding and Apple has built up its own reputation these years. Another catchy thing is Apple products have a really nice design. For smartphones, although there are brands like Samsung Omnia, HTC, Blackberry etc, but seems iPhone is still the best hit among consumers. Apple remains a fierce contender in the spartphone industry, despite competition from hardware manufacturers.

The popularity of the launch of iPhone 4G can be shown by these quotes on the article, "Apple said it and its partners took more than 600 000 orders for the new iPhone 4 on Tuesday, the first day they were accepted, despite technical flaws that prevented many orders from going through.", "It was the largest number of pre-orders Apple has ever taken in a single day and was far higher than we anticipated, resulting in many order and approval system malfunctions."

This all shows that the Apple magic is still present and so right now, it looks like Apple's popularity with the masses is not going to wane. I still feel that Creative (A brand in Singapore) is really a good brand, and its products are affordable. However, it is not well-known to the masses because of insufficient publicity in mass media or campaigns make known to the public.

Nevertheless, even in facebook, there are status of Apple iPhone 4G is launched and everyone cannot wait to own their very own iPhone 4G. I also hope one day I can own a iPhone 4G too! Well, I guess it is a trend now to see teenagers having their own iPhone from Apple.
