Report: iPhone Hits Mark on Market Share

By Brian T. Horowitz
February 2, 2009

Despite a market slowdown, ABI Research reports that the iPhone has a bright outlook in 2009.

As Ars Technica reports, Apple met the goal it set of taking 1 percent of mobile phone market share in 2008 -- in fact, it took 1.1 percent. This mark was eighth among the top mobile vendors, with Nokia taking first place.

With features such an innovative multitouch screen, the iPhone stood out from the competition -- though other companies such as Palm are looking to match this functionality.
