Interesting.
The US market as a whole fell 4.2%, so Apple got a bigger slice of a shrinking pie. That’s an extra 250,000 units year over year.
What are the numbers worldwide, especially Asia where growth is reported as 12%? Lenovo added nearly 2 million units year over year - considerably higher on the worldwide scale.
The US market seems to be contracting; I’m not sure grabbing a bigger slice of a shrinking pie is something to boast of...

Are you aware that the iPad is grabbing sales from PCs?
I think the iPad phenomenon is robbing the entire PC market of momentum. The good news for Apple is it controls a huge percentage of the post-PC market: iPod, iPad and iPhone.
Is that something to boast of? I sure think so! :-)
How about 65 Billion in cash, can Apple brag about that?
I am just glad that in my lifetime, I surely won't be forced to use a Microsoft based PC, tho I do have windows installed on my iMac via Parallels.
I am also glad that you personally have a choice that most PC users would have been thrilled to deny me.
It’s just another “Worship Apple” post.
The details don’t really matter.
Growing when everyone else is shrinking is.
