Touchscreen mobile sales 'set to explode by 2013'
Friday, Mar 05, 2010 Filed Under :Planet Talk Card News
News brought to you by Planet Talk - the cheapest rates for international calls.
Touchscreen mobile devices will account for more than half of mobile device sales globally by 2013, research shows.
Sales of touchscreen mobile devices will nearly double in 2010, compared to last year, according to Gartner, as users look for more sophisticated phones from which to make a cheap international call.
The devices are expected to be particularly popular in developed markets over the next three years, representing 80 per cent of sales in North America and Western Europe.
Principal research analyst at Gartner Roberta Cozza explained: "Touchscreens are no longer the preserve of high-end devices and are now being included in many midrange phones as more companies have been driving the consumer market for affordable touchscreen phones."
She added that users are becoming much more aware of the benefits of touch interfaces and "vendors are responding".
Last month, Gartner data indicated that mobile phone sales to end users grew by eight per cent in the last three months of 2009, although the market stayed flat throughout the year.
