No, this is not the number of purchased iPhone, as it has already been achieved in less than one week. iPhone sale numbers will be unveiled tomorrow.
Yes, Microsoft celebrated the millionth Zune, but for sure it would have expected to reach this milestone earlier; for sure the Zune does not come as a strong competitor for the iPod. But Redmond's giant does not give up and announced the availability of Zune 2 for the end of the year. Microsoft did not provide many details, beside the fact that it will feature new functions making it more fun and user-friendly. In addition, those new capabilities will be also available on the first Zune thanks to a firmware update.
Such backward upgrading is a good idea for consumers as it makes the investment a more secure one than a 6-8 month life cycle iPod and maybe Apple should take it into account.
