????國際數據公司（IDC）上周四發布的一份報告表明，諾基亞（Nokia）和黑莓生產商Research in Motion正迅速失去其多年來在智能手機市場的領先位置。

????這兩家公司最直接的威脅源自蘋果公司（Apple）。后者2011年第一季度發售了1,870萬部iPhone，比去年的銷量翻了一番還多。目前，iPhone不僅已超過RIM公司的黑莓手機（BlackBerry），而且與諾基亞的塞班（Symbian）智能手機的銷量相比，差距也不足550萬部。除非諾基亞能設法超出預期，順利地從塞班平臺過渡到微軟公司（Microsoft）的Windows Phone 7，否則到今年底以前，很可能被蘋果反超。

????但是，三星公司（Samsung）和宏達電公司（HTC）這兩家生產谷歌（Google）安卓（Android）手機的領導廠商，其銷售增長甚至比蘋果更為迅猛。盡管這二者原來的銷量相對較小，但它們的手機發售量分別比去年同期增長了350%和將近230%。

????2011年第一自然季，各家公司總共發售了9,960萬部智能手機，相比去年同期的5,540萬部，增長勢頭可謂迅猛。“智能手機市場的現狀，無疑正掀起一場有利于實現智能手機可持續增長的完美風暴。” 國際數據公司的雷蒙?拉馬斯指出。

????前不久，國際數據公司報告說，在包括智能手機和非智能手機的廣義手機市場，蘋果已位居第四，而且其增長速度快于其他任何頂級廠商。參見此處。

????The lead that Nokia (NOK) and Research in Motion (RIMM) have enjoyed for years in the smartphone market is evaporating rapidly, according to a report issued Thursday by IDC.

????Their immediate problem is Apple (AAPL), which shipped 18.7 million iPhones in Q1 2011, more than double last year's shipments, to overtake RIM's BlackBerry and come within 5.5 million units of Nokia's Symbian smartphones. Unless Nokia manages the transition from Symbian to Microsoft (MSFT) Windows Phone 7 more smoothly than expected, Apple could overtake it before the end of the year.

????But gaining even more rapidly are the two leading manufacturers of Google (GOOG) Android phones: Samsung and HTC. Their shipments increased 350% and nearly 230%, respectively, year over year, albeit from smaller bases.

????In all, 99.6 million smartphones were shipped in the first calendar quarter of 2011, up from 55.4 million last year, with no sign of slowing down. "Conditions in the smartphone market are creating a perfect storm for sustained smartphone growth," said IDC's Ramon Llamas.

????Last week, IDC reported that in the broader market for all mobile phones, smart and not-so-smart, Apple has taken the No. 4 spot and is growing faster than any of the other top manufacturers. See here.
