It seems like the Apple iPhone 4S is already a success and it hasnt even launched yet. Apple today revealed that pre-orders for its iPhone 4S have topped one million in the span of 24 hours, putting to shame its earlier pre-order record of 600,000 iPhone 4 pre-orders in a day.
Steve Jobs had a great vision to keep Apple in Cupertino and even acquired land from HP to do so. Here is his presentation and I really hope to see this build being developed in the near future.
