According to Canalys, published by Symbian, the iPhone is eating up the North American market, squashing all but Blackberry in it's path. I don't have fancy charts or a team with white coats and clipboards, But I can tell you that I see an awful lot of iPhones when I'm out and about. A whole lot. Unlike the "Zune", and particularly after Microsoft said it had sold a million of the first batch, I still to this day have not seen a single person with one. That's not to say they're not out there in the hands of some consumers, but unlike my constant iPhone sightings, I have yet to feast my eyes on a card carrying Zune member.

In its first full quarter of sales, the iPhone has already climbed past Microsoft’s entire lineup of Windows Mobile smartphones in North America, according to figures compiled by Canalys and published by Symbian. That puts the iPhone ahead of smartphones running Symbian, Linux, and the Palm OS, but behind the first place RIM BlackBerry. The figures mesh with retail sales data already reported by NPD, which similarly described the size of the US market with a 27% chunk bit out by Apple’s iPhone.---
Love it or hate it, the iPhone is doing something quite special in a very short amount of time.
