9 million iPhones is not so impressive if you consider that 1.5 million Android phones are sold every day on average. And only the ones registered at play.google.com are counted.
So 9 million iPhones on the first weekend is six days of Android sales.
But this was the weekend when the hyped iPhone was first sold. Later the numbers will return to normal figures. And there Apples iOS will remain a solid number two in the market.
The patent lobby tried to introduce software patents in Europe silently as well. Thanks to the FFII there was enough noise to wake up politicians. Now we have additional support from sites like No Software Patents, but it took a lot of time to get this support.
Hopefully there is a chance to postpone the decision so the indian people and politicians can catch up on software patents.
