    • Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture

    • Another of my all-time favorites, Priest = Aura is one of those rare albums where every song is simply fantastic, and a testament to how good pop-rock can be.

Gartner Reports iPhone 3rd in Smartphone Market Share for Q1

Gartner said on Friday that Apple’s iPhone placed third in global smartphone market share in Q1, 2008. Worldwide, smartphone sales were up 29 percent.

The worldwide sales of smartphones reached 32.2 million units, about 11 percent of all mobile phones.

"Nokia continued to maintain its leadership due to the variety of its smartphone portfolio, which includes a number of both high-end and mid-tier models available at different price points," Gartner said.

RIM was second with 13.4 percent while Apple’s iPhone accounted for 5.3 percent of all smartphones sold.

Pacific Crest’s Andy Hargreaves has predicted that the worldwide market for all mobile phones will be 1.27 billion in 2008. If Apple wants to maintain its goal of capturing 1 percent, it will have to sell 12.7 million iPhones, not just the magic number of 10 million. Mr. Hargreaves believes Apple may fall short of that number, while Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster is predicting 12.9 million.
