28% Market Share For The iPhone

There were plenty of discussions and rumors about iPhone's market share so far, as it always happens with innovative products that can either be a success, either a complete failure. Exactly this is the case now, with Apple setting the expectations bar to a pretty high level, level which may not be reached by the iPhone. Anyway, the good part is that most people love it, and considering its sales in the US, as well as the impact on the designs of other producer's mobile phones, the iPhone has been a success. Today, I even heard some interesting news, so there you have it...

According to some recent reports, Apple got the 3rd position in the global hardware market, during the 4th quarter of 2007, and the iPhone manage to grab no less than 28 percent of the smartphone market. This happenes in a world where the smart mobile market got really close to the 120 million units mark in the same year, 53 percent up compared to the previous year.

Things look really interesting, in my opinion, and now we only need to see how Apple's wonder-phone will manage to keep its ground and gain new territory in a market where new models arrive on a daily basis, and its innovative features are everyone's goal, when it comes to designing a new smart phone. Unfortunately, until we'll get to see the first reports for 2008's market status, a bit of time must pass...
