iPhone doubles market share

Apple's iPhone continues its relentless advance, doubling its market share of smartphones globally in just a year, according to research by Gartner. TechRadar reports.

Nearly 4 million iPhones were sold worldwide in the first quarter of 2009, compared to 1.7 million during the same period last year - giving Apple an 11 per cent slice of the smartphone market.

Impressive numbers, certainly, but still a long way behind RIM, whose BlackBerry devices account for 20 per cent of all smartphones sold, and Nokia, whose 15 million smartphones sold cements its 40+ per cent share.
