Smartphone market to grow from 160m units (2009) to 500m (2012)

This report forecasts that the worldwide smartphone market will grow from 160million units shipped in 2009 to more than 500 million in 2012.  I am asking myself how much of that was initiated by Apple’s iPhone vs. the inherent interest/need in having a PC substitute with you all the time.

In any case, it is good news for the mobile industry who will enjoy impressive growth also in mobile data services as the smartphone users will of course drive that market too.
