Apple Inc., maker of the iPhone, and Palm Inc. both lost share in the second three months of the year.

GO RIM! the apple iphone is most likely a good or great phone in its own right but it just cant touch the blackberry (in my humble opinion)

I really don't find that too hard to believe considering everywhere I look I see more and more BBs!

Having used several different smartphones over the years (Treo/Palm, Kyocera (one of my personal favorites, by the way!), HTC, and the Nextel BB, I am not surprised. While the Treo is a fine device it has become - let's just say - somewhat unstable and antiquated. I know that not everyone who uses a smartphone uses it just for business, but it is certainly a major share of the market. And that market wants something that works well, works fast, and, most importantly, works when it is needed. That describes the BB and that defines the reason for this change - IMHO!
