There has been a lot of doom and gloom around Palm for the last week, everyone seems to be having a go at Palm, it could really do with some good news. Prethinking highlighted that WebOS’s mobile web usage stats went from 4% (Total US market) to 10% in September 2009 alone, still a fair distance behind the 48% of Apple.
There are also positive signs in the fact that Palm Pre’s traffic share of the US smartphone market stands at 13%, only 1% behind RIM on 14%, the more established HTC is only on 19% so it is not bad going for Palm Pre’s first few months in a very competitive market.
There is a lot more detail over at Prethinking, for a company under so much presure maybe these are the green shoots of Palm’s recovery , the really intresting stats will come when Palm’s entry into the UK and other markets in Ocotber is taken into account.
