Worldwide, shipments of smart mobile devices is up 81% in the first quarter of 2005 versus the same quarter in 2004. Symbian still ranks number 1 with 64% share. Microsoft is in second place with 18% share. MS shipments are up 44% over last year. PalmSource comes in third with 10% share and decreased shipments 13% from last year.
By individual vendor, HP is in 5th place, well down the list. That speaks volumes about the number of MS OEMs in the "other" category. There are a lot of them and they are all doing well to have Windows Mobile firmly planted in second place. :way to go:
