Smart phones are becoming more like computers every day and users on the other hand are switching from conventional celfones to smart phones.
The need for processing power, more robust applications accessible at the fingertips is becoming a norm and recent data from Gartner proves this point. In the second quarter of this year it is reported that smart phone sales has increased by 27% percent totaling 40 millions sales while celfone sales have decreased by 6.1 percent totaling 286.1 million units. While smart phone sales are still far from the total celfone sales, the considerable difference in increase and decrease percentage shows a lot of promise for manufacturers gearing into bringing the computer to the palm of users.
