Hello,
I was referring to the following link for Device Manufacturer Market Share in US and realized that even if I add up the market share of manufacturers given in this link, it doesn't cross 50%. Does anyone know who is having the rest of the market share?

Hello again. We have added the rest of the stats. In some cases, PC browsers hit mobile sites, and this causes a significant percentage to be "unknown", since there is no handset registered in this case. If there are any other questions please contact us.

A little off topic but does anyone know how getjar gets the market share statistics? What are they based on??? There nothing even in there for the iphone as far as I can see. That's a little surprising, esp., for the US market.

Guys,
To clarify, below is the origin of GetJar stats. We're transparent about this because stats are a community project and we encourage anyone to contribute. This is how it works:
1) Hundreds of developers go to www.wapalizer.com and include the wapalizer code in their mobile sites. This code provides the owner of the mobile site with information about what handsets are hitting his site on the phone browser. It is very useful information and we encourage anyone with a mobile site to use wapalizer. There is no cost. Wapalizer is free.
2) GetJar consolidates these mobile browsing stats, from hundreds of mobile sites, into the numbers that you see on GetJar Stats (previously www.mobref.com). So, the market share stats on GetJar Stats represent what handsets are being used for mobile browsing, not the actual sales of handsets in the market (since many handsets are not used for mobile browsing). For a mobile developer, it is important to know the market share stats for phones that are used for mobile browsing, because those are the handsets for which a developer should build phone apps and web apps. GetJar's primary reason for being is as a service center for mobile developers, and all of our free tools are designed to help the developer.
So, we encourage everyone to put wapalizer code in your mobile site, in order to make GetJar stats even more accurate.
Thanks!
Bill
