Smart Phone Wars: iPhone vs. Blackberry vs. ...Android?

these results don't do any good for analysing smart phone business as investment opportunity. smart phones, as cell phones in general, are a global business. while the us is a large market, less than 8% of cell phones are sold there. 92% is sold outside the us. even 10% market share change in the us would affect less than 1% on any manufacturers world wide market share. focusing on that is next to meaningless.

as for smart phones, the us market is one of the most underdeveloped markets. even the hugely hyped iphone has failed to make impact outside the us, because the smart phones available elsewhere are some 5 years ahead.
