Nothing says I'm Sorry Like Free Apps, Apple Sells 4 million iPhones in Three Days

RIM announced that it would apologize to users for last week's network outage by offering a selection of free apps (that you'd normally have to pay for) up until December 31. Also, corporate users will get a free month of technical support.  That's a nice idea, but I hope they improve the list. There isn't much there that interests me. Wouldn't it be nicer if they just offered a credit on their app store to each user and let us decide which apps we want to apply it to?  Click the link below to see what they're offering so far.

Apple announced that it sold over 4 million iPhone 4S phones over the first three days of availability. (Also, 25 million users downloaded IOS5, the latest version of the operating system for iPods, iPhones and iPads.)  For a phone that is just an evolutionary improvement over the last model, that's an incredible number.  Apple has an awesome marketing machine.
