iPhone with 28% of U.S. Smartphone Marketshare for Q4 2007
Canalys reported on both U.S. and Q4 2007 mobile phone marketshare numbers today and listed Apple's iPhone as #3 (6.5%) in smart phone marketshare worldwide despite being only available in a few countries. Apple trailed Nokia (52.9%) and RIM (11.4%) who were #1 and #2, respectively, in the worldwide market.
Meanwhile, Canalys estimates that Apple is #2 in U.S. marketshare with 28%, behind RIM (41%). This put the iPhone ahead of both Palm (9%) and all Windows Mobile device vendors combined (21%).
During the Macworld Expo keynote speech, Jobs reported that the Apple iPhone won 19.5% of the smart phone market during the 3rd quarter of 2007, so this 28% marketshare in Q4 represents signficant growth in the second full quarter the iPhone has been on sale.
Today, Apple introduced a 16GB version of the iPhone.

Good going Apple. Wish I had an iPhone :(
Alright, all that aside, bring on the MBP and MB whiners out there to give this news article a negative feedback.

How long until OSX outnumbers Vista on new devices? Not long at this growth and the 3G phone hasn't even been released yet. And when it does.. whooooooosh
Im sure somebody will point out the recent growth of Vista , problem is its not sustainable, whereas OSX has only just begun.

I don't want to take anything away from Apple because this is a significant success for them, but originally they were talking in terms of simply gaining 1% of the overall cell phone market, not isolating numbers by looking at the smart phone market only. Where does this put them in terms of the overall cell phone market? I'm betting they're still under 1%.

iPhone looks like its here to stay... Too bad for Windows Mobile. They had a huge head start and everything. Now they just got left in the dust. Like babies.
