Blackberry, iPhone and Palm are the three most popular Smartphones in the US market. ChangeWave Research has recently conducted a study to find out which Smartphone rules the industry of Smartphones.

According to the study, there is a stiff competition taking place between Apple’s iPhone Smartphones and RIM’s Blackberry Smartphones since the launch of the iPhone in July 2007. Whilst Blackberry Smartphones have held the highest market share for some time now, Apple’s iPhone Smartphones are popular for being the most desired Smartphones in the Smartphone Industry.

Although Apple’s newest iPhone 3G Smartphone has been doing really well since its launch, things however look brighter for RIM as it plans to launch its first ever Touch Screen Blackberry device known as the Blackberry Thunder very soon. The Blackberry Thunder will compete directly with the iPhone 3G and it will allow RIM to increase its market share both in the enterprise and consumer segment as the Blackberry Thunder will offer iPhone like features with more powerful enterprise features. RIM’s market share is also set to rise with the introduction of its new Sleek and trendy device known as Blackberry Bold and first ever flip Blackberry device known as the Blackerry Kickstart.

Things on the other hand don’t look too good for smaller players in the US Smartphone Industry such as Palm and their market share and popularity will keep on declining with the stiff competition that is taking place between RIM and Apple.

If you are targeted 20 million unit sales, then you only reach 18 million, what would you do? Are you going to blame it to anyone else? Microsoft reported that its Windows Mobile licenses (for PDA phone and smartphone) are sold for ?only? 18 million this June 2008 (from July last year)?missed about 2 milion from their 20 million target?thanks to the phone launch delay from handset maker.

Xperia is one phone that is missed to meet schedule this second quarter, thus lower Microsoft?s sales in total. Xperia is the long awaited Sony Ericsson phone that will become the first SE phone powered by Windows Mobile.

The iPhone 3G hype also gives contribution to Windows Mobile?s unreached target. Yet, 18 million licenses for a year is a huge number. Probably one of the biggest selling in smartphone category (of course still under Nokia domination). For next year, Windows Mobile 7 will become Microsoft weapon to fight against iPhone 3G, Google Android, and Blackberry series.
