Smartphone Sales Shrug Off Economic Downturn
Nov 26, 2008
Gotta have that new smartphone!!!
In a recent study by ChangeWave Research, it was revealed that despite the economic downturn that has hurt companies both large and small, consumers remain bullish on smartphone purchases. Of those polled, 12% reported planning to buy a new smartphone as soon as 90 days!
The data continues the string of reports suggesting that the market for high-end mobile phones — which typically offer Internet access, music, video and application features — continues growing despite the economic climate. IDC reported similar findings in April, while Gartner saw continued strength in the market last month.
With many of the newest smartphones that users are eager to shell out big bucks for, such and the iPhone and Blackberry Storm, an unlimited mobile web data plan is REQUIRED for service on the device. That translates to no stopping in the increasing demand growth for mobile optimized web content for those hungry little babys!
