Even with recession threatening to turn into a depression, Apple Inc’s march towards glory and super-wealth shows no signs of slowing down. And all that, courtesy to the iPhone.

According to the Gartner Research’s Smartphone sales report, the smash hit iPhone has propelled Apple’s worldwide smartphone market share to 327.5%.

This also comes in the wake of a global slowdown in the smartphone market space. Globally, Smartphone Sales Reached Its Lowest Growth Rate With 11.5 Per Cent Increase in Third Quarter of 2008

This also puts the iPhone over all at number 3, behind Nokia’s Symbian and RIM’s Blackberry.

The one to lose out? Windows Mobile which has been pushed to number 3 by this latest iPhone surge.
