  <body-formatted>&lt;p&gt;And four out of 10 Blackberry and other smartphone users say they would switch to the Apple iPhone in a trice. According to Gartner, Apple more than doubled its share of the worldwide
smartphone market in Q1 of this year to 10.8%.And that's not counting last Friday's launch of the iPhone 3G S, which Apple says sold over a million units this past weekend. Piper Jaffray&#8217;s Gene Munster &lt;a href="http://apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2009/06/22/munster-apple-sold-750000-iphones-last-weekend/"&gt;notes&lt;/a&gt; that 12% of buyers are now switching from a BlackBerry, compared with 6% last year. Munster commented this, "may indicate the
company is making headway among business users slowly adopting the
iPhone platform for corporate use."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While consumers are clearly lusting after the iPhone, the're less willing to make the switch to AT&amp;amp;T to do so. Apple could see another real uptick in iPhone sales once it opens the device to other carriers. According to Munster, 28% of new iPhone buyers are switching to AT&amp;amp;T, compared with 38% last year and 52% in 2007, when the device came to market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Numerous iPhone studies find device owers take advantage of a myriad of iPhone features, particularly online apps and services. &lt;a href="http://www.boingo.com/" title="boingo"&gt;Boingo Wireless&lt;/a&gt; released data
today on mobile device access on its airport network of Wi-Fi
hotspots. An astonishing 89.2% of mobile users access Boingo with iPhones -- up from 1% in 2007. And the iPhone is followed by a 2.8% share for the iPod Touch. Blackberry, in contrast, accounts for 0.2% of the devices accessing Boingo.&lt;/p&gt;</body-formatted>
