So Steve Jobs did his usual dog and pony show at Macworld this week. The big news is the MacBook Air. But there was something else that caught my eye:

Jobs also said Apple has sold 4 million iPhones during their first 200 days on sale.

Now, let’s do the math on that. 4 million iPhones during the first 200 days. That’s 20,000 iPhones per day. 833 iPhones per hour. 14 iPhones a minute.

Let that sink in for a second. This is a $399 phone that is selling at the rate of 14 units per minute. Whenever someone tells you the American economy is in trouble, give them that statistic.
