In 2011, smartphones will be ahead of PC sales
In 2011, sales of smartphones will exceed sales of computers around the world - this conclusion was reached by RBC analyst Mike Abramsky. In his report, he also predicts the release of both types of devices at the level of 400 million per year.
While sales of smartphones are growing, sales of ordinary mobile phones, respectively, are falling. Therefore, such giants of the computer industry as Apple, Dell, Acer and Microsoft are paying ever closer attention to the “gold-bearing” industry of smartphones. Not so long ago, Asus began selling the Nuvifone M20 smartphone based on Windows Mobile, and the new Dell smartphone is now undergoing a pre-sale verification procedure by Chinese regulatory agencies.
Worldwide mobile sales in the second quarter of 2009 totaled 286.1 million units, a decrease of 6% over the same period last year (according to Gartner). At the same time, sales of smartphones exceeded 40 million units. And this is 27% more than in 2008.
“Smartphone manufacturers have much more opportunities in the market due to their higher margins. In addition to being the fastest growing segment of the mobile device market, it is characterized by resistance to the downward trend in the average selling price, ”the report says. Apple gets the best analyst reviews from its iPhone strategy. "We think that the iPhone as a platform will be relevant for ten years, and its prospects are brilliant.", - said the analyst.

But far from bright prospects in the report are designated for Nokia, and at the same time, RBC predicts the success of the BlackBerry series. “We believe that RIM’s position will be further strengthened thanks to Crackberry’s data and messaging technology, reliability, good battery performance and software and NOC hardware.
