In these modern times of $1000+ smart phones, it is interesting to look back 15 years to when an iPhone 3GS sold 1M units in a weekend.

It was also just 15 years ago that you could get a Palm Pre which sold… only 0.1M units in an entire week.

The Palm Pre ran webOS. Today, webOS is running on 150M+ devices that are much larger than a phone.
