Apple saw 60,000 first-day iPhone sales in S.Korea

Apple has seen about 60,000 units of iPhones sold in South Korea on its debut on Saturday, which is pretty good as the nation has already reported 400,000 smartphones sales in the third quarter.

The number, though far away from the one million sales in the U.S. for the iPhone 3GS, has already been a great success compared to the estimated 5,000 units sold during the first week in China.

The handset is available through KT Corp, the second largest carrier in Korea.

“We’re hoping that this iPhone will be a trigger point for the smartphone market in Korea,” Yang Hyun-mi, KT’s chief strategy officer, wascited as saying. Hyun-mi also noted that smartphones only control one percent of the mobile market in the nation.

Apple scraps 1,000 iPhone apps

Apple has booted Molinker and its products from the AppStore, following complaints that the developer was posting fake reviews.

The Chinese company had more than 1,000 apps in the store, mainly cheap travel guides for the iPhone. The products actually represent about one percent of the apps available in the app store.

Molinker was caught out by the iPhoneography blog, which noticed that a good 90 percent of reviews on Molinker products came from the same 50 people – most of whom had pretty poor English too. Even more suspiciously, these users only seemed to use Molinker apps, as they never reviewed anything else.

The implication was that the reviews were being posted by staff at the company itself. The owners of the blog contacted Phil Schiller to draw Apple’s attention to the scam.
