Smartphones lead 15% gain in handset shipments
August 6, 2008
Boosted by energetic competition for high-end cell phones and strong growth in emerging markets — especially the Asia/Pacific region — the number of handset shipments grew 15% in the latest quarter, according to IDC’s phone-tracker report. In North America, phone makers enjoyed healthy gains because of fierce activity before Apple’s launch of its new iPhone, and globally smartphone shipments rose close to 40%, compared with 10% for all other handsets.
