Here's some interesting news from today's Macintouch:

In a story about Apple's retail outlets, Investor's Business Daily reports
on Apple's market share in the U.S. [Apple's worldwide share is said to be
less than 2%]: 

Apple's slice of the overall U.S. PC market shrank to 2.9% in the first
quarter, down from 3.2% two years earlier, says market tracker International
Data Corp. But Apple has gained in consumer PC sales, especially with
notebook computers.   Apple's share of U.S. consumer PC unit sales rose to
3.4% in the first quarter, up from 1.9% two years earlier. Its share of
dollars spent on consumer PCs rose from 2.3% to 5.2%.   Things are brighter
in the U.S. consumer notebook PC segment. Apple's unit market share rose
from 0.3% to 6.8% in the two years. And its share of the market based on
dollars spent rose from 0.2% to 8%.
