Apple iPhone Leapfrogs RIM BlackBerry in Smartphone Rankings on this Enterprise Mobility story.iPhone 4 sales launched Apple over RIM and into the top-5 list of handset vendors during the third quarter. Smartphones are now a major factor in the overall handset market.Rate This Article:Poor BestE-mail Print PDF VersionApple, Research In Motion and Android phone producers such as Samsung put in strong performances during a third quarter that showed smartphone sales to be very much dictating the global handset market. The handset market also seems to be rewarding phone vendors that are constantly innovating and producing the strongest possible portfolio of smartphones. The launch of the iPhone 4 helped Apple, according to Oct. 28 reports from research firms IDC and Strategy Analytics, join the list of top-five performers for the first time. Apple, such as competitor RIM, only contributes smartphones to the handheld market, and both vendors posted highest-growth rates among the top five vendors during the quarter. “The mobile phone makers that are delivering popular smartphone models are among the fastest-growing firms,” Kevin Restivo, an IDC senior research analyst, said in a statement. “Vendors that aren’t developing a strong portfolio of smartphones will be challenged to maintain and grow market share in the future.”
