The poor results continued a year of losses for PC manufacturers like Lenovo, Dell, and Toshiba -- who all saw the first year of sales losses in over ten years.

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1204/dellxps15z-macbookpro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Both Gartner and IDC provided early estimates of winter 2012 market share that showed Apple making big strides in the US.  The two gave the Mac a tentative share of 10 or 10.6 percent, in either case enough to put it in third place.  Both saw rapidly falling Acer and Toshiba below Apple in share....]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://cdn.macnn.com/news/1201/samsunggalaxytab77-handson.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[A shift towards the mobile world could see Android overtake Windows for sheer market share, IDC put out in a long-term estimate.  Putting mobile and desktop platforms in a single smart device category, it had Windows slipping from 35.9 percent as of 2011 to 25.1 percent in 2016.  Android would only slightly move in share, from 29.4 percent to 31.1 percent, but would move enough to claim the top co...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1203/windows8-nvidiatablet.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[IDC painted an optimistic picture of traditional PCs in a Tuesday long-term estimate of their shipments.  Researchers expected PC shipments to grow just five percent year-on-year in 2012, but pinned most of this sluggishness on the first half, as the iPad and other tablets were a "powerful distraction," IDC VP Bob O'Donnell said.  However, a mix of the Windows 8 launch and ultrabooks was assumed t...]]></description>

Going higher than others' estimates, the research team believed that Amazon shipped 4.7 million Kindle Fires, or enough to stake out 16.8 percent of tablets worldwide.  Along with a slight gain from Samsung to 5.8 percent, the prediction would have knocked...]]></description>

The iPhone 4S launch helped Apple claim 26.6 percent of all cellphone shipments in the country this fall.
