iPhone: 28% US Market Share
And 6.5% of worldwide smart device market.
The fourth quarter of 2007 definitely proved fruitful for Apple in the smartphone market. Apple Insider (via Canalys) reports that the iPhone reached #2 in US market share with 28%. RIM continued leading the way with 41% and Palm was a distant third with 9%.
"When you consider that it launched part way through the year, with limited operator and country coverage, and essentially just one product, Apple has shown very clearly that it can make a difference and has sent a wakeup call to the market leaders," - Pete Cunningham, senior analyst, Canalys.
With a new 16GB iPhone now available and third party apps on their way soon, it certainly seems like the sky is the limit for Apple in the smartphone space.
Will those third party apps include Documents To Go? Still hard to say, but if you want it, let us know!
