As predicted a few months ago, Smartphones have passed PCs in global numbers. Today's IDC numbers have Smartphones climbing to over 100 million units for the quarter with Nokia (NOK), RIM (RIMM) and Apple(AAPL) bringing in the majority of those unit shipments. However, as you can see from the chart below, with the exception of Apple who gained .1 point in market share, the big gainers were the lower ranks. HTC, Samsung and "Others" which are largely Google (GOOG) Android OS device manufacturers including Motorola (MMI), Sony (SNE) and LG were the big gainers.
