Again, BlackBerry Dominate The U.S. Smartphone Market
Wednesday, July 14, 2010
Apple has just launched its latest product the iPhone 4, and scored 1.7 million unit sales in the first three days. Google also announced that about 160 thousand have been using OS Android phone every day. However, this fact apparently has not been able to shift the position of RIM in the smartphone market country of Uncle Sam.
Based on the survey research company Nielsen Co.., RIM Blackberry still becomes a market leader in the United States, with the acquisition of approximately 35%. The iPhone competitor reached 28%, and Android share reached only 9%.
When compared with what is achieved by RIM five years ago, that number turned out to show a sharp decline. RIM is because at that time able to lead the market with a market share of more than 50%.
Research and consulting company of information technology: Gartner Inc., in the year 2012 even predict Android will be pushed into second position, under the Symbian smartphone market worldwide. Then would follow the iPhone in 3rd position. As for RIM which currently occupies two positions will be dropped into fourth position.
This gives a sign, if the competition in the smartphone market has increased. And now the pressure is on the side RIM
