1 Million iPhones Plus 10 Million Apps = Clout

Sure a million phones in three days is impressive even though it’s a drop in the bucket in terms of market share. But Apple now has nearly a solid 20% market share in the smart phone arena. It’s a small percentage of the total cell phone market, but Apple really doesn’t need to be too [...]
