Blackberry vs. iPhone vs. Palm- Who rules the US Smartphone Industry?
Blackberry, iPhone and Palm are the three most popular Smartphones in the US market. ChangeWave Research has recently conducted a study to find out which Smartphone rules the industry of Smartphones.
According to the study, there is a stiff competition taking place between Apple's iPhone Smartphones and RIM's Blackberry Smartphones since the launch of the iPhone in July 2007. Whilst Blackberry Smartphones have held the highest market share for some time now, Apple's iPhone Smartphones are popular for being the most desired Smartphones in the Smartphone Industry.
Although Apple's newest iPhone 3G Smartphone has been doing really well since its launch, things however look brighter for RIM as it plans to launch its first ever Touch Screen Blackberry device known as the Blackberry Thunder very soon. The Blackberry Thunder will compete directly with the iPhone 3G and it will allow RIM to increase its market share both in the enterprise and consumer segment as the Blackberry Thunder will offer iPhone like features with more powerful enterprise features. RIM's market share is also set to rise with the introduction of its new Sleek and trendy device known as Blackberry Bold and first ever flip Blackberry device known as the Blackerry Kickstart.
Things on the other hand don't look too good for smaller players in the US Smartphone Industry such as Palm and their market share and popularity will keep on declining with the stiff competition that is taking place between RIM and Apple.

Apple needs to somehow challenge the ‘corporate’ image that blackberry has, so companies can start taking it seriously
