According to (http://blog.changewave.com/2008/08/apple_iphone_it_spending.html) the August ChangeWave survey of IT spending, 17% of respondents planning to buy a Blackberry, Palm (PALM), or iPhone said they would be purchasing the Apple product in the fourth quarter. That is up from 13% in the May poll.
RIM's (RIMM) Blackberry continues to be in the lead with 79% of buyers planning to buy its products in the fourth quarter, but that is down from 82% in May.
Looking at the market as a whole, 29% of those asked said they would be spending less on IT products in the fourth quarter, up from 24% in the May poll.
