BlackBerry regains some lost market share in Canada

BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins with the Z10 and Q10 (Credit: Sarah Tew/CNET) BlackBerry has been able to regain some lost Market Share in its home country of Canada. In a research note to investors on Thursday, Raymond James analyst Tavis McCourt reported that while BlackBerry's Market Share was just 6 percent in Canada in the fourth quarter of 2012, it jumped to 13.5 percent in the first quarter of 2013. The analyst believes that there was some excitement that cropped up around BlackBerry's latest handsets, the Z10 and Q10, which helped spur the change. Still, BlackBerry is still far behind where it once was. According to McCourt, BlackBerry had a 21.8 percent Market Share in the first quarter of 2011. Regardless, BlackBerry is no competition for Apple and Samsung. The former earned 40.1 percent of the Market in the first quarter, while Samsung held on to 29.8 percent of the space.

New Phones Help BlackBerry Claw Back Some Canadian Market Share

Canada is a BlackBerry nation no longer, with Apple’s iPhone having eclipsed the Canadian handset maker’s Share of the country’s smartphone Market well over a year ago. But BlackBerry may yet reclaim its home-country advantage. Research outfit Raymond James says that the debut of BlackBerry’s new BlackBerry 10 operating system and the two handsets on which it runs have gone a long way toward repairing the home-turf Market Share erosion the company has suffered over the past few years. In the fourth quarter of 2012, BlackBerry’s Share of the Canadian Market topped out at a dismal 6 percent. But by the first quarter of 2013 it had more than doubled, rising to 13.5 percent. The reason? The BlackBerry Z10 , the company’s new all-touch handset — one that finally gave it table stakes at the smartphone game from which Google and Apple had ousted it. The Z10 had a strong Canadian launch, according to BlackBerry, which said the device’s debut was more than 50 percent better than any other launch day in its history in the country . Evidently the device has retained enough of that early momentum to drive continued Market-Share gains. And now, with BlackBerry’s second BB10 handset — the Qwerty-keyboard Q10 — recently introduced in Canada , the country’s largest technology company may be poised to reclaim even more ground in its homeland. “I think the Q10 will see much better demand than the Z10, as I have to believe the primary reason users ...

Android Q1 market share at 75 percent worldwide

Thu, 16 May 2013 16:09:45 GMT

Source: www.techeye.net --- Thursday, May 16, 2013
Together, Android and iOS make up a staggering 92.3 percent of all smartphone shipments for Q1 2013, at least according to IDC's latest worldwide quarterly mobile phone tracker. Shipments for the top two operating systems reached 199.5 million units globally for the first quarter, an increase of 59.1 percent compared to the previous year. Android is indisputably the top dog in terms of Market Share, which seems to have been Google's plan all along: tempt the manufacturers with a quality OS to rival Apple's and flood the Market. Samsung was leading the charge, holding an impressive 41.1 percent of the total Android vendor Market. Many others maintained single digit Market Share but there were yet more with Share of less than one percent. IDC believes competition among the Android vendors has not leaned negatively on their overall mobile strategies but is shaking the Market into each trying to come up with their own proprietary experiences on top of it. Contrasted with its own performance, Apple's iOS was a record breaker - enjoying the biggest ever Q1 volume on the back of iPhone shipments. However, for the wider Market it posted a yearly decline in both Share and shipments. IDC mirrored other recent criticisms from the technology community: that although there is still demand for the iPhone, the iOS experience has been pretty much the same since the first model hit the Market back in 2007 - which could change with the next iterat ...

Panasonic aims 8% smartphone market share in India

Telecom Lead Asia: Panasonic aims at achieving 8 percent smartphone Market Share in India in the first year. This will be a tough task for the consumer electronics major in the Indian smartphone Market that is dominated by Samsung. First, Panasonic does not have a strong product portfolio to grab 8 percent Market Share. Despite Lumia range, Nokia is struggling to increase Market Share in India. Panasonic consumers, who have used VIERA and LUMIX range, will get a costly P51 smartphone from today. There’s no guarantee that it will be a big a booster to sales growth in India. But Panasonic India president Daizo Ito is confident about its success in Indian telecom Market. “Panasonic has a great legacy of being the pioneers of innovation in every segment. Continuing with our legacy, we are now launching our innovative smartphone which will redefine the Indian smartphone consumer experience,” Ito said. Second, Panasonic is planning to bring more products. Without expanding its service centers and brand image, it will be difficult to sell in the Indian smartphone Market at this point of time to get 8 percent Market Share. Third, investment of Rs 200 crore over the next year in brand building for the mobile range is inadequate. India has seen the marketing aggression of Apple, Samsung, Nokia, BlackBerry, Micromax, Karbonn, etc. Fourth, Panasonic is yet to become well known for bringing out innovative smartphone products for Indian pocket ...
