| theflyonthewall.com: | Smartphones show no effects of the economic slump, Barron's reports | | Technology analyst Bill Whyman of ISI Group says smartphones have been seeing higher adoption rates since the 2007 launch of Apple's (AAPL) iPhone, and they are expected to account for 20% of all mobile handsets by year end. Smartphone unit sales grew 15% in Q2. That advance wasn't as robust as Q1's 21%—an all-time high—but still represented a double-digit gain. Mobile handsets are starting to affect the personal-computer market, as some people use them, rather than laptops, for mobile web-browsing and other tasks. And their rapid proliferation also is contributing to the mounting pressure to double the country's broadband spectrum, Whyman notes. Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and Google's (GOOG) Android operating system are the early favorites to dominate the category. But that doesn't mean others, including handset stalwarts Nokia (NOK) and Motorola (MOT) are sitting idle. The market is bifurcating between high-end, or "super" smartphones, such as the iPhone and Research In Motion's (RIMM) BlackBerry models. Nokia, which is still No. 1 in total market share, saw its smartphone unit sales grow 44%, year-over-year, during Q2. But the stiff competition is causing Nokia and others to cut prices and squeeze margins, according to Whyman. Handset manufacturers such as Motorola and HTC, which have embraced the Android operating system, continue to chip away at Nokia. Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com |
