Another feather in the Apple iPhone Cap, it has now crossed Microsoft’s Windows Mobile in sales. With just 2 models out in the market the iPhone 3G and the 3GS, Apple has managed to beat a veteran in the smartphone industry – Windows Mobile! iPhone has taken 13.7% of GLOBAL smartphone sales in Q2 2009 compared to Windows Mobile’s 9% share in sales.

Apple has sold 5.2million iPhones in Q2 alone and the momentum is rising in Q3 with Apple facing stock shortage of iPhone 3GS, owing to increasing global demand. On the other hand Microsoft hopes to roll out Windows Mobile version 6.5 later this year to compete with the rising competition that Android and iPhone have created.

“Apple has revolutionized the smart phone sector, leapfrogging more experienced rivals,” Canalys senior analyst Pete Cunningham said in the company’s report.
