Apple is estimated to have sold between 1 and 1.5 million iPhone 4s on launch day. You heard me right - between 1 and 1.5 million people waited in line just so they can say, “First!”

iPhone 4 With Wrong Volume Keys?
9to5mac posted a picture of an iPhone 4 with reversed volume buttons. The - button is on top and increases volume, + is below it and decreases it.
Have you got this problem too? I hope mine will be ok.
Steve Jobs on iPhone 4 Reception Issues: “Just avoid holding it in that way”
This has been the main topic on the internet all day: the iPhone 4 has reception issues. Many people are reporting that when holding the phone in the bottom-left corner, the signal drops. Bars go down, you get No Service on your iPhone.
We haven’t had the chance to test this issue (because we haven’t got an iPhone 4…yet) but we’ve read many reports of users either frustrated or surprised that they haven’t been able to replicate the issue.
Now the interesting part: Engadget has got an official statement from Apple, and published an email Steve Jobs sent to a new iPhone 4 customer.
iPhone 4 and Gyroscope: Meant for Gaming [Video]
We’ve mentioned Ngmoco’s first iPhone 4 game two days ago, and boy it looks beautiful. The killer feature it’s not how it looks, but how it works.
iPhone 4 Vs. Flip Ultra HD Vs. 3GS
iLounge has recorded 6 videos comparing the video recording capabilities of the iPhone 4 to those of the old iPhone 3GS and Flip Ultra HD. 3GS aside, the Flip Ultra HD has almost the same quality of the iPhone 4 (they both output 720p video) and better saturation but, like Gruber points out, the iPhone 4 wins in moving and panning.
Check out the videos embedded after the break.

Twitterrific 3.0. Reviewed.
I was looking forward to Twitterrific 3.0 for iPhone. Since Twitter (ahem) bought Tweetie from Loren Brichter, I feared no one would take the effort of developing a great Twitter client for the iPhone anymore. Fighting against the man with a paid / unofficial app? Many developers gave up, and I understand them.
The Iconfactory team didn’t gave up though. They announced a native version of Twitterrific for iPad and it was released on day one. A great app, but I eventually ended up using Osfoora HD on the iPad, more on this in a moment. After the iPad client was released, they announced their plans for the future: a completely revamped version of Twitterrific for the iPhone and a much needed 4.0 update for the Mac.
With the 3.0 version of Twitterrific for iPhone, they decided to take a radically different approach and streamline the user experience by removing all those unnecessary features that made Twitterrific 2.0 a feature creep. I think it worked.
Star Walk Follows the Stars! Review & Giveaway!
Growing up in suburban neighborhoods full of light fixtures, airplane traffic, and an illuminated sky just miles away from the uptown, I’ve never really had a chance to just step out in my back yard and appreciate the night sky. The light pollution is awful, and I always remember heading out on camping trips with my Dad and staring up at the night sky that was alive with flickering lights and unknown suns. I may appreciate those ancestral bodies more than others, but I think everyone would find Star Walk for the iPad to be an application you’ll immediately fall in love with.
