Apple Gaining Smartphone Market Share in US
| Manoj Jasra - Wednesday, October 28, 2009 0 Comments |
According to recent survey results from ChangeWave Research, Apple continues to grow its market share in the US, now representing roughly 30% of all smartphones. Blackberry still sits at the top of the list 40% with Palm dwindling down to 7%.
With RIM's BlackBerry slowing losing market share, this begs the question, what does BlackBerry need to change? Is it the model of the phone (which is quite different than other smartphones), Is it the fact that apps are quite difficult to develop for a marketplace which is less than 5% the size of Apple's? A blog post over at Toktumi leads us to believe that Blackberry is doomed.

Distomo, an app store analytics company that tracks iPhone App Store, RIM App World, and Android Market activity, recently released a report on the average price per app across all three stores that revealed BlackBerry apps are three times more expensive on average than their iPhone App Store and Android Market versions.
