Apple iPhone, over 1 million sold

In technology news, Steve Job’s and his team at Apple have sold over 1 million iPhones since first releasing them a couple of weeks ago on June 29th, 2007, selling an estimated 5 - 700,000 in the first week alone. The iPhones were released at midnight on June 29th and even Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak lined up to get some.

The Apple iPhone is a three-in-one gadget embodying the traits of an iPod, a phone, and full Internet access. In order to activate the iPhone, you have to sync it up to your iTunes player. iPhones run for $599 a piece.

VoxBox:

In the VOX Box today, I’d like to remind you that we are accepting entries for the 60 Second Pitch Contest until July 20th, 2007. That’s only a week away! A 60 Second Pitch lets people know who you are, what you do, and how you can serve them through your business. This week, we featured Bettye Zoller on Voice Over Experts talking about just how to go about this and why having an “Elevator Speech” or pitch is important for any voice actor.

To learn more about the contest and how to enter, go to voices.com/60secondpitch/enter.html. The Winners will be announced via the VOX Talk podcast on July 27th, so stay subscribed.
