Microsoft Windows Phone Saves share?

Microsoft recently launched Windows Phone, a new version of its mobile operating system Windows Mobile. That was none too soon. The market share of Windows Mobile last year because it fell down. 

Microsoft has success with its new mobile operating system, Windows Phone, badly. This can be derived from research by Canalys. In the second quarter of 2008 was over 14 percent of all mobile phones sold with Windows Mobile. A year later, was only 9 percent. Apple over the same period from 2.1 to 5.2. Also, Android, Google's mobile operating system, did well, out of nothing by 2.8 percent of the market. The undisputed leader in the meantime continues Symbian (among others supplied by Nokia), with a market share of less than 50.3 percent.

Experts were also critical of the alleged overwhelming success of Apple. Commentator Joe Wilcox suggests , based on figures that Apple with its iPhone seriously fails in the four BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China), which together account for 40 percent of the world. In Russia the iPhone has a market share of 1 percent (second quarter 2009), the other three countries, the iPhone will not even statistics.

Western European sales in Q4 2010 Smartphone doubled

Earlier today I wrote about the popular smartphone OSes expected to use the mobile internet and now I noticed a message from IDC on the number of smartphones sold in Western Europe during the last quarter of 2010.

Data from IDC shows that sales of smartpones compared to the same period one year earlier, in Western Europe (including UK, Germany Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy) almost doubled, from 12.8 million in 2009 to 25.6 million in Q4 of 2010.

Nokia is still the leader, but saw its share of smartphone sales are falling sharply, from 46% (5,900,000 units) in 2009 (Q4 so) to 27% (7,000,000 units) in 2010. Apple was the number 2 in the western European smartphone market with a share of 20% (5.2 million units) but also had 4% market share in percentage return over one year earlier when 3.1 million iPhones sold.Anyway, the chart below might be a lot clearer.

In total, smart and feature phones, were in Q4 of 2010 in Western Europe, 58.7 million units sold. Also there is still market leader Nokia with 33% (19.6 million sets), but 11% less than one year earlier. Samsung is the number 2 with 27% (15,600,000 units), down 2% from Q4 2009.Also notable is that Samsung is not in the top 5 smartphone manufacturers. Again following graph says more than 1000 words ;-)

The market share of Palm and Handspring handheld market has declined and they have to cede land back to the Pocket PC platform from Microsoft. That according to the latest figures from market research firm PC Data.

The research firm reported a 60.5 percent market share of Palm in the U.S. retail market in January. In December this was 65 percent. Handspring, which has licensed the Palm OS operating system, also saw their share fall from 27 to 26 percent. The hardware works with Pocket PC manufacturers saw their share increase slightly. The Compaq iPaq went from 2 to 4 percent, Hewlett-Packard also had a share of 2 percent and rose to 3.5 percent and Casio saw their market share by 2 percent increase to 3.5 percent.

According to PC Data analyst Stephen Baker said that Palm and Handspring in December took a larger share by purchasing their cheaper models around the holidays. Baker added that the new figures are unlikely to change in market share over the long term mean. This is because the sales of the Pocket PCs, which sold more business, not as seasonal as the sale of Palm handhelds.

While total sales of handhelds in numbers and money significantly decreased compared to December, the number of units sold still doubled since January 2000, Baker says. Sales of handhelds with 85 percent compared to last year.
