“IDC has released its set of smartphone shipment figures for Q1 2011. They show that just under 100 million smartphones were sold last quarter. Nokia lead the way with 24.2 million smartphones, followed by Apple (18.7m), RIM (13.9m), Samsung (10.8m) and HTC (8.9m). All manufacturers had increased shipments year on year, but by widely varying amounts. Nokia was the weakest (+12%), with RIM (+31%), Apple (+114%), HTC (+229%) and Samsung (+350%) all showing stronger growth. The smartphone market continues to grow, and Q1 2011 continued the sustained growth pattern of the last few years. IDC attributes the growth to “a combination of vendors releasing highly anticipated models, widespread availability of older smartphones at lower prices, and sustained end-user demand”. Smartphones now make up approximately one quarter of the overall mobile phone market, worldwide – one in every four mobile phones sold is a smartphone.” Read more here:
