iPhone Now in 2nd place in US, 3rd place Worldwide

Canalys shows that Apple’s iPhone is now second place just following RIM (Blackberry) in the US smartphone market. In the 4th quarter of 2007, the iPhone surged to a 28% share of the US converged device market behind RIM’s 41%. This is not surprising because the demand for smartphones is increasing. Phones are not just to make calls anymore, we want it to be able to take pictures, web surfing, read/send emails, play games, and more.

I have been looking for a smartphone and HTC Touch Dual or iPhone seems attractive. Just a wild guess, I think iPhone will advance to 1st or 2nd internationally in the near future when it becomes more available and easier to unlock except the Turbo SIM method. In Canada, you can get an iPhone for ~$790 - only some stores have them in stock with limited quantities.
