Over at the ChangeWave blog a survey was conducted to see how consumers reacted to Apple's iPhone 3G announcement back in June. With the 3567 people surveyed there were many interesting finds. Of the people who were surveyed the top 3 smarts phones that people owned or planned to buy in the next 90 days were phones by RIM/Blackberry, Palm and Apple. The survey showed that 42% own or plan to purchase a Blackberry device, 14% own or plan to purchase a Palm device and finally 11% own or plan to purchase a Apple iPhone. Although Palm may have a greater percentage than Apple, the once popular device has been experiencing a gradual decline in popularity over the years.
Survey candidates were also asked about smart phones they would be purchasing over the next 90 days. In last place it seems that 3% are planning to purchase a Palm device, 23% would be planning to purchase a Blackberry device and 56% would be planning to purchase a iPhone (3G). These are indeed interesting figures but in no way represent the global market.
Apple however is certainly doing a very good job in capturing marketshare so quickly. Is Blackberry and Palm in trouble? Well with the iPhone 3G being released in a couple of days, we'll see how things pan out.
