Apple as part of its spring results saw its mobile device sales grow even further in a possibly significant blow to RIM and smaller rivals. It shipped 20.34 million iPhones, a nearly ten percent gain from the winter and 142 percent compared to a year earlier. A full quarter of Verizon iPhone sales, along with a kick from the white iPhone, have been credited for the gain in a period when iPhone sales usually drop and when no new model was imminent.
