Blackberry takes the lead…for now

The numbers are in, and it looks like Apple has some serious competition for that top spot in the smart-phone market. The first quarter of 2009 (Jan – Mar) has seen the Blackberry Curve steal the top position from the iPhone 3G. Blackberry also holds a close third and fourth too, with the Storm and Pearl respectively. The strong marketing of RIMs Blackberry devices saw their market share rise to just under the 50% mark, while Apple’s share in the market dropped by around 10%.
