Interesting smartphone numbers from comScore published on the 8th. Despite Google strides, marketshare for BlackBerry products (RIM), still continue to be strong. These numbers are U.S. based only, but you get the idea. RIM still has just about 1/2 the market for smartphones. Thought I would post this for those that say Android and iPhones are taking over the world. Sorry, there still are a ton of BB's out there guys...

Smartphone Platform Market Share
49.1 million people in the U.S. owned smartphones during the three months ending in May, up 8.1 percent from the corresponding February period. RIM was the leading mobile smartphone platform in the U.S. with 41.7 percent share of U.S. smartphone subscribers, followed by Apple with 24.4 percent share and Microsoft with 13.2 percent. Google saw significant growth during the period, up 4.0 percentage points to capture 13.0 percent of smartphone subscribers, while Palm rounded out the top five with 4.8 percent. Despite losing share to Google Android, most smartphone platforms continue to gain subscribers as the smartphone market overall continues to grow.

Would seem Apple and Windows Mobile phones are taking more of the hit for Android phones than anyone really.
