Paul is a reject...

and at the end of the day who cares about corp sales vs retail. The point being if 10 million iPhones are sold... then well.. they are sold. Good job iPhone. Who cares about the stupid comparison to WinMO business devices...

The bottom line is, things are shifting... we all know it, We can smell it. Ask yourselves this. I know I'M a gadget geek... and i had my own smartphones before the iPhone, and i know if YOU'RE a gadget geek you had one to.

BUT what about all those people who AREN'T, like your MOM and your sister, and your girlfriends MOM. Guess what, none of them are gadget geeks and until now they had regular normal Flip phones, or normal phones.

But NOW they have an iPhone... like i said.. change is coming.

@Jeff

How’s it out of context? It’s in context. It couldn’t be more contextualized if we had a 3D animated Thurrott floating over the text explaining it

That + link to his site = ultimate context.

Nice way to quote out of context Rene. Why didn’t you include this portion of his post? “Apple’s very real successes. The iPhone’s doing great. And it’s opening up a consumer market for smart phones. That’s the real story here.” His sales figure claims are true, as NPD clearly states on their site-”Note: Sales figures do not include corporate/enterprise mobile phone sales.” Of course they can garner 17% of smart phone sales at retail to the typical consumer. That’s simply because the consumer is buying a mobile phone that conveniently also falls into the smart phone category. It’s a successful device for sure, but it doesn’t command 17% of the US smart phone market. It commands 17% of the non-corporate smart phone market. A market that NPD says comprises 19% of all handset sales in the us.

He didn’t seem to challenge the 10 million claims.
