- Apple’s Q1 hardware sales: 37 million iPhones, 15.43 million iPads, 5.2 million Macs, 15.4 million iPods
We touched on the numbers in our report on Apple’s Q1 earnings, but the company’s throwing out a lot of “record” figures and we thought we’d take a moment to focus on just how its hardware sales stack up. The standout figure is, of course, the 37.04 million iPhones sold during the quarter, which is up 128 percent from the same quarter a year ago (and up from 17 million in the previous quarter, a jump of 117 percent). That also puts it back ahead of Samsung, which sold a total of 35 million total smartphones in its most recent quarter. What’s more, as blogger Matt Richman notes, a little basic math reveals that Apple sold more iPhones in 2010 (a total of 93.1 million) than it did in 2007, 2008 and 2009 combined.iPad sales also set a new record 15.43 units sold during the quarter, which is a 111 percent jump from the 7.3 million sold a year ago, and a 39 percent increase from the 11.1 million moved in Q4 2011. Once again, however, iPads were the one category that continues to decline in the face of the growth of smartphones. Apple sold a total of 15.4 million iPods — over half of which were iPod touches — which represents a 21 percent decline from the 19.4 million sold a year ago. The holiday shopping season did boost sales considerably from the 6.6 million sold in the previous quarter though.
Mac sales were also on the upswing, totaling 5.2 million units — a 26 percent increase year-over-year. Breaking things down further, that translates to 1.48 million desktops (including iMac, Mac Mini and Mac Pro), and 3.7 million laptops (including the basic MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro).

Apple | Email this | Comments - iBooks Author sees 600,000 initial downloads, 3 million for iTunes U app
Apple announced on its quarterly earnings call this afternoon that iBooks Author had seen 600,000 downloads since its unveiling last week. The folks in Cupertino also mentioned that iTunes U has seen 3 million app downloads, feeling a bump from the announcement a few days ago. One other interesting tidbit: currently, 1.5 million iPads have been deployed in schools. We’d surmise that those numbers will continue to increase as iBooks 2 and iBook Author start to pound the pavement in the months ahead.iBooks Author sees 600,000 initial downloads, 3 million for iTunes U app originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:26:00 EDT.

- eye3 hexicopter helps your DSLR take flight for $999
Your camera wants to take flight — trust us, it does — and an ambitious new project aims to make your DSLR’s aeronautic ambitions a reality. The eye3 hexacopter is a six-armed carbon-fiber unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) that hopes to make aerial photography accessible to the masses. Designed by a couple with a hankering for robotics, the flying machine is modular (for easy repair) and navigates using a combination of Google Maps and open-source code. Those without a pilot license need not worry: the eye3 utilizes the oft-improving APM2 software for a “compact yet powerful” autopilot experience. The UAV can carry a payload of five to ten pounds, boasts three CPUs and has a 350-watt motor strapped to each tentacle. Fly past the break to watch a video from eye3’s creators… get to the choppa’!

This just in - the National Telecommunications Agency in Brazil confirmed the Galaxy Note9's massive battery in a leaked document. The certification document doesn't reveal much but it confirms one of the main features the Galaxy Note9 will boast over its predecessor - the 4,000 mAh battery. Rumors about the large battery capacity have been going around since April and the bit was later confirmed by a different source in June.

Oppo F9 will come with a Pro version, passes Bluetooth certification
There will be a successor to the Oppo F7 after all despite the existing phone being fresh on the shelves since this spring. The latest teaser from Oppo that appeared online suggests that the handset will be coming very soon so an August launch seems plausible. From the teaser, we can conclude that the device will come with a double camera setup on the back and historically, the phones from the F-series have been mostly selfie-centric so we can expect an upgrade to the front-facing snapper as well. Meanwhile, the F9 has popped up on the Bluetooth certification website hinting at...
