Gartner: iPhone No. 3 worldwide smartphone in 2009

"Apple Inc.'s iPhone in 2009 more than doubled its sales from the previous year and moved up into third place among global smartphones, according to a report from Gartner.

Nokia had 46.9 percent of the market with about 80.9 million sales, and Research in Motion had 19.9 percent with 34.3 million sales.

Cupertino-based Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) had about 14.4 percent of sales in the total mobile operating system market, Gartner said.

In 2008 Apple had 8.2 percent of the market with about 11.4 million units.

Apple sold a record 8.7 million iPhones in the last quarter alone, a growth rate of 100 percent over the year-ago quarter.

Another big gainer was Mountain View-based Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG). Its Android moved up to 3.9 percent in 2009 from less than a 1 percent share in 2008.

Sunnyvale-based Palm Inc. (NASDAQ:PALM) Web OS had 0.7 percent of the global market with about 1.2 million units sold."
