iPhone Is No.2 In North American Smartphone Market Share In Its First Full QuarterSubmitted by lalit on December 18, 2007 - 7:35pm.
The iPhone has grabbed 27% of all smartphone sells in North America and the iphone is yet not released in Canada and Mexico. The other big thing is only AT&T is selling iPhones where as the other mobile platforms are sold by all wireless carriers present in North America. The numbers reached by iPhone in just one full quarter of sell shows the influence iPhone will have on all the up coming smartphones. These numbers indicate that Apple outsold all Windows Mobile smartphones and Symbian phone combined in US for Q3 of 2007. The numbers are particularly embarrassing for Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer who announced in a TV interview in January that Apple wouldn’t capture more then two to three percent of the market and laughed at the cost of the iPhone, he described his own Windows Mobile platform as having or soon acquiring 60 to 80% of the smartphone market. Its not just the number of iPhones sold, the Mobile Browser Stats for November 2007 showed iPhone at 47%, whereas the Windows CE had just 32% even though it has been selling with mobile browser for more then 5 years. So a product that was launched 5 months back is reaching 50% mark in mobile browser share. That is a serious problem for all the companies that were designing smartphone browsers. FeedBurner |
