This table pretty much speaks for itself as a snapshot of the year in smartphones that was 2008 (according to Gartner) — a breakout year for the category particularly in the US. As you’d expect from the smartphone device tallies we saw yesterday, RIM and Apple have the momentum largely at the expense of Symbian’s declining market share and the stagnation of Windows Mobile in an otherwise growing market segment. Palm’s also a bit of a surprise showing 42.2% growth for the year. With any luck, Palm could turn this table upside down in 2009 with a successful global launch of WebOS. Regardless, you can bet that developers are paying particularly close attention to these numbers as they decide where to best align their resources for maximum financial gain.
