Comment on Google's biggest announcement was not a phone, but a URL

Is the iPhone a big hit? I thought it was a relatively small proportion of the total phone market.

Yes it's a big hit, and yes it holds a relatively small proportion of the total phone market

This is because the iPhone holds a significant portion of the smartphone market, but the smartphone market makes up only a small percentage of the total market

The recent Morgan Stanley reports on "Mobile Internet Trends" (15. Dec. 09) portray the rapid growth in pretty much detail:

I don't know, depends on your definition of "big hit". Is crushing industry expectations and becoming the best selling phone in the world a "big hit"?
