Its success is measured by the number of sales in comparison to other models of cell phones, not market share. Every cell phone has a small market share, because the market is flooded with tens of thousands of different models. For example, the Blackberry, all models combined, gives it about a 2.6% market share worldwide.

I have to ask: what *percentage* of all cell phones currently in use are iPhones?

True, 30 million phones is an impressive number. But it's really only meaningful if it's the put in the context of market share. While Apple has certainly achieved a lot in terms of coming from out of nowhere and selling phones, I'm not sure if the iPhone has yet to crest 10% in terms of actual market share.

Anyone?

Best,

James Fraser
