Smartphones

In the beginning of 2008 this is the panorama of mobile networks (considering specifically mobile phone networks):

• 3.1 billion mobile phones in use;
• 9% of these are smartphones (like Blackberry, Palm Treo, HP and others)
• 64% of all smartphones use Symbian, 11% Windows Mobile, 11% Linux, 10% Blackberry OS, 2% Palm OS and 1% Mac OS.

To compare to the mobile network, the internet has around 850 million computers connected,
where 90% use Windows.

What are our previsions at Fazion?

• all mobiles will be like “smartphones” until 2010;
• interface touch screens about 300 pixels width;
• Windows Mobile will share a big market slice;
• killer applications will not come from the actual major players;
• corporative applications will create the best profits;
• mobile advertisement yet to be developed and defined.
