iPhone accounted for 39% of their business from what I can see from 2008, the figure will be much higher now, at the moment, Apple are really the iphone and ipad a bit, PC sales can't be anywhere close.

The problem is dose it break it down to app's, i cannot see there revenue just from the sales of the phone to be 39% of there overall sales considering the company i work for do not sell the iphone but we do sell ipads, servers and macbooks and the likes, as as of 2 mins ago we had £3 million of stock sitting in our warehouse, thats a hell of alot of iphones haha

The 39% is just the hardware. Including 'related products' the figure is as much as 50%.

Apple have a 9.5% share in the PC market (3rd largest), up from 3.5%, HP are the biggest, 16%, down from 19, acer and 2nd 12.8% from 14.6%.
so not only are they the only one of the top 3 growing, they also have a 10% share in the market.. just iPhone mate?

Didn't they have a little button on the back that made it pop down in real life? I'm sure someone at school had one that did it.

Apple will be like that eventually, they're creating a massive bubble which will eventually burst.
maybe, they may get to a point where they own a 3rd of the mobile market with htc and samsung. RIM and Nokia will be fighting for scraps, but unless for some reason they fail to innovate, or make old shit tech look like their cool new idea, i cant see the bubble bursting anytime soon
RIM will be above Nokia, I see more Blackberry's on a night out than any other phone.

iirc the 7110 wasn't the matrix phone, that was the 8110 ?
I used to like nokias, I swore by them until I had by 5800 and that was a real let down personally. I have one now for work but that's a cheap shite one

Unfortunately, although not massive in Romford, Nokia is pretty big in Asia and Africa
