iPhone Share of Global Market Hits 1.1 Percent
"Apple made good on a target set by Steve Jobs when he originally announced the release of the original iPhone in June of 2007. He wanted the iPhone to take 1 percent of global cellphone market share by the end of 2008, and according to at least two different market research firms, Apple has met, and surpassed that goal." 
Nokia is the dominator in this race with over 38 percent of the global market, but Apple didn't do too bad considering they have only one product and have only been in the market since June of 2007. Apple and RIM had the biggest jumps in market share, .8 percent and .9 percent respectively. RIM of course is the maker of the Blackberry, a company that, like Nokia and many others, has numerous entries in this race.
