RIM Rules Current Market, But Apple Is Gaining
RIM is still the leading amoung consumers by market share data but we need to remember that the Apple iPhone market share has shown tremendous momentum going forward. We know that BlackBerry has shocked the market yesterday, sending shares down 20% after hours We should remember that RIM is benefiting from the smart phone trend as described in a Q208 Gartner report. At the same time, Palm (PALM) and its Treo continue to struggle through extremely hard times. RIM (42%; down 1-pt) maintains its towering lead in current smart phone market share, even as number two Palm (16%; down 2-pts) continues its two year losing streak. This was the seventh-consecutive ChangeWave survey in which Palm’s market share has dropped.
