In some recent research on the distribution volume of the iPhone, analyst firm IDC released the figures that Apple put up during the 2009 calendar year, doubling the numbers of the previous year and clinching the third berth among smartphone creators. Apple owning about 15% of the smartphone market landscape saw an increase of distribution of 82% compared to the previous year in ‘08. Another study released from Gartner, compares the consumption of smartphone based on OS (operating systems) opposed to the manufacturer. Despite information being calculated differently, the same numbers resulted displaying Apple 15% share of the landscape. Another observation made in the research published was the gap between Apple, Research in Motion (Blackberry) and Symbian (Nokia). According to the chart, Apple has made a tremendous stride into overtaking RIM with the 2× jump in distribution and Symbian has seem to lose of traction in the 2009 year, losing 5½% of their market-share assumably to RIM and iPhone OS.
