Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The Apple Macintosh is the clear number 3 selling PC in the US market, posting a 15.9% year on year gain in unit sales for the third quarter 2007, according to IDC figures. Meanwhile HP, with an even more impressive sales gain of 16.9% is fast closing in on US market leader Dell, which suffered a year on year shipment drop of 4.8% for the quarter.
According to IDC, the Mac, which shipped 1.13
million units, has maintained its lead over notebook specialist
Toshiba, which shipped 940,000 units and widened the gap with Gateway,
which lost market share shipping 805,000 units. HP shipped 4.346
million units, putting it within striking distance of Dell which
shipped 5.010 million units.
Worldwide, however, HP is now the clear market leader with 19.6% market
share and 13.094 million units shipped in Q3, followed by Dell whose
market share has slipped to 15.2% with 10.018 million units shipped. In
Q3 2006, HP and Dell were locked in a titanic struggle for market
leadership with almost identifical numbers of units shipped.
Although the IDC figures show Lenovo as being the number three PC
vendor worldwide, just ahead of Acer, that position is likely to be
reversed when the next set of figures are released as Acer has acquired
Gateway. However, Acer still posted an impressive year on year
shipments growth of 59.2%, while Lenovo shipments grew 22.9%.
Overall, global PC shipments grew year on year 15.5% for Q3 2007 on the back of strong laptop sales, according to IDC.
