What impact are the new iPhone 3GS and Palm Pre models having on the market?

ChangeWave: A September 14-21 survey by ChangeWave Research provides an up-close look at the impact of the new Apple (APPL) and Palm (PALM) offerings – along with an update on Research In Motion (RIMM) and overall smart phone industry trends going forward.

The survey of 4,255 consumers shows strong growth continues in the smart phone market, with 39% of respondents now reporting they own a smart phone – up 2-pts since June and nearly double the level of two years ago.

Very interesting. I remember people used to brag about their cars and what not. Now, if you still have one of those silly looking lg flip phones people look at you and go like whaaaat? lol

What about Android?

They're being biased and narrow minded. That's why you can't really rely on those silly surveys. Kinda like the UCR and NCVS reports.

Another possibility is that Android and WM are the only ones that don't make their own hardware.

Kinda tuff to include them in customer satisfaction survey as the hardware affects OS ratings
