Apple Leapfrogs RIM In Market Share

It looks like Apple has scored another win, as research firm Canalys states that Apple has overtaken RIM in Q3 to become the world’s number seller of smartphones, with a cool 17.3 percent market share, over RIM’s 15.2 percent. With the recent Bold and Storm releases, there is a possibility that RIM could bounce back and reclaim the number 2 spot in the next quarter. Regardless of who is sitting at the number 2 spot, it’s going to take a lot to dislodge Symbian at the top spot, which has a whopping 46.6 percent.
