We used to be first in almost everything, now....
The US is A dominant market, not necessarily THE dominant market.

I prefer my (pri)mates smoooooth. We'll need to wax you. BTW, did I ever tell the story of this girl I was with, way back when...there we were, nice and intimate like, when I saw it. A friggin hair sprouting from her breast.

Only because I was still in my teens, did I not deflate at that instant.

Talk about buzz kill though

Munk - I know a good shrink if you're interested.

ShannonElements - kitty to fox to skunk; you need some serious therapy

Or is this just the result of a milk diet?

Surur

the confusion comes from IDC and Gartner having different definitions of what is a smartphone, handheld and PDA. For example the Treo is not in the same category as the BB so when BB and Palm are compared, Palm's 2 million Treo sales are not inluded in the 4.23 mill for BB to 2.72 for palm comparison. Add the two togtehr, as Palm does, and the numbers make sense....all the numbers and explanations are in the "Palm in Trouble" thread
