Abstract The worldwide smartphone industry is one of the few that has successfully weathered the current recession; in fact, smartphones actually seem to be recession-proof. But while the number of smartphones continues to grow, so does the number of smartphone OSs, so much so, that 2010 looks like it will be a pivotal year for the survival of smartphone OSs.
This report looks at smartphone trends, including operating systems, hardware content, and consumer preferences, and backs up these trends with a smartphone forecast, regional forecast, a forecast for each major smartphone OS, and forecasts for smartphones with GPS, picoprojectors, accelerometers, image sensors, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Also included are survey results on what features users want in their smartphones, and a bill-of-materials for a typical smartphone.
