Smartphone sales up in Q2 ‘08, BlackBerry leapfrogs Windows Mobile

September 15, 2008 – 4:20 am

Filed under: ,

Yo, Microsoft, step on the gas and get Windows Mobile 7 out the door, would ya? Gartner’s profile of global smartphone sales in the second quarter of 2008 reveals that RIM’s BlackBerry OS has jumped over Windows Mobile to become the number two platform finding its way into pockets around the world, while perennial powerhouse Symbian carries on comfortably with the number one spot (and it’s not UIQ that’s doing the heavy lifting there, if you catch our drift). As a percentage of the overall mobile market, smartphones account for the same 11 percent they did a year ago — but the entire market saw growth, meaning that total smartphone shipments jumped a solid 15.7 percent over the same period. Well-earned kudos to RIM for knocking WinMo off its high horse, but seriously, Microsoft need only look in the mirror if it wants to know exactly how this came to pass.

Hands-on with LG’s BD300 Netflix / Blu-ray deck

When we waltzed over to have a gander at LG’s recently priced BD300, one of the reps on hand wasn’t so keen on letting us take close-ups. Not one to just roll over and accept a command, we casually walked over to the other BD300 kiosk, flashed the Engadget gang sign to the much kinder rep, and continued on to snap a few shots of the new box. The unit set up was fully functional and able to stream Netflix movies, and it even detected the network connection before playing in order to deliver the best quality without introducing skips and stutters. Feel free to get all up in your monitor when checking out the gallery over at Engadet HD, we won’t hassle ya. One love.
