Apple announced today that they sold their one millionth iPhone 3G on Sunday, July 13, 2008. That is only 3 days after it went on sale. That’s pretty impressive.

According to a Reuters article, iPhone users may still be able to buy the iPhone 3G, take it home, and activate it there.
There would be penalties for users who do not activate the iPhone in the first 30 days, AT&T said, in a move aimed at reducing the number of customers who buy an iPhone [...]
