HP Takes The Lead In Europe/Middle East/Africa In Third Quarter
http://www.canalys.com/pr/r2003101.htm
HP took the lead in the third quarter of 2003 by selling just over 200,000 units. Second place Palm sold 186,000. Also of note is that the handheld/data centric market grew faster than the smartphone market did. Sales of data centric devices grew 34% over the same quarter last year while voice centric devices grew just 22%.
"Palm usually performs well in Q4," added analyst Rachel Lashford, "So HP should not take this leadership position for granted, however, with the iPAQ h1900 and h2200 series, HP now has a much stronger consumer offering. There will also be several new smart phone and handheld launches in the run up to Christmas, which will all make for an exciting quarter in terms of potential shifts in market share."
Of note this quarter is Dell grew to be large enough to be shown separate from the "Other" category while Sony shrank just enough to be included in "Other."
You can read about the second quarter 2003 performance in this thread to refresh your memory and see how the market moved in the past 3 months.

I find the graph and information very interesting as well.
I would also like to see the North American graph/info comparison to this graph, in addition, I would like to see a graph and info where ppc is in regard to the OS's. :wink:

I'm not surprised in the least. HP has really taken the lead in PPC development.. smaller, faster, cheaper (for the most part). Glad to see that the HP/Compaq thing seems to be working out.

Strange. I wonder why no other sites are reporting this info? Palm Info Center I can see, but Brighthand? They gleefully reported "Palm retained its lead with a 34% share, similar to its position of a year ago, but with shipments up 45%. Second-placed Hewlett Packard, with 25% share, lost ground, having only grown its shipments by 2% year-on-year." last quarter yet are sort of quiet now. Not too biased eh?

So, what's new about that? I for one am taking this as a sign how much PPC has gained in the recent quarters.
What's funny, you can compiled Palm inc. press release from the '99 to '01 trumpetting every one of this market share number from Canalys even. It was almost a religious duty.
but now, ... well It's wee bit too embarrashing to announce market share.

Um, 27% 'Others'?
Sounds like someone is hiding numbers. How can Canalys justify lumping 27% of the manufacters as 'Others'? I would like to see this data reorganized by OS not just device.

You jumped your conclusion too childish. You can click the link and see the original report. Nobody hide the numbers. The others should include Sony(Palm OS), Sharp(Linux), LEGEND(Pocket PC) and others.
