Novatel celebrates sale of 3 millionth MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot with an intelligent rager
Today marks a momentous occasion for Novatel Wireless, because shipments of its MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot have now surpassed the 3 million mark. The company confirmed the milestone in an announcement yesterday, and took a moment to look back on how far their router has come since it was first introduced in 2009. Since then, Novatel has launched its family of MiFi devices with 25 operators across the world and is looking to build upon its record. For now, though, just grab a bottle of bubbly and join the PR party, after the break.
Ford installs Sync in more than 3 million cars, takes a moment to congratulate self
Ford and Microsoft's little voice control in-car connectivity project seems to be doing pretty well for itself, judging by the latest milestone it has passed. Sync has just been announced to have crossed the three million mark when counting the cars it's installed in, with recent data suggesting takeup for the $395 optional extra is growing. Nearly 80 percent of purchases of current 2011 Ford models include Sync, while over 80 percent of those already using it say they'd recommend the service to others. The latter number has improved by a robust 5 percentage points over last year, so clearly something's being done right here, but we're more interested in finding out what alternatives the other car and electronics makers will come up with during this year's CES. Rest assured, we'll explore them all.
3 million served in the UK (and counting)
It's been a good year for Nintendo, and we're still at the beginning. The latest jewel in the big N's crown? The news that sales of the DS and DS Lite have surpassed three million in the UK alone. The DS was also Britain's best-selling console in 2006 -- period. Despite delayed game releases and the general gnashing of teeth, the little handheld that could continues to dominate the competition. While the incredible array of games is probably to thank for most of the system's success in the UK, we've yammered plenty about the goodness of British ads, too, so color us totally unsurprised by the news that the DS might be selling a few units here and there.
