RIM has lost a lot of ground in worldwide marketshare. The company that once dominated the smartphone market has seen its marketshare plummet as Apple's iPhone and Google's Android have taken over. However, the BlackBerry is still the number one smartphone in Canada, holding a small lead over Apple's iPhone.
It's a small bright spot for RIM to hold its own in its home country. Around the world, the BlackBerry has been losing ground. The BlackBerry is still popular in the UK, but in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, comScore data showed that RIM was not in any of the top three spots.
According to research firm comScore, Waterloo, Ont.-based RIM had 32.6 per cent of the smartphone market in Canada, while Cupertino, Calif-based technology giant Apple had 31.2 per cent. Samsung, the Korean conglomerate that has released several sleek models over the last year running Google’s Android operating system, had 11 per cent at the end of the three months ending in December, 2011.
