Smartphones
While the mobile handset market sales fell six percent year-on-year from 305 million to 286 million units in the second quarter of 2009, according to research firm Gartner's figures, global smartphone sales bucked the trend. This increased by 27 percent from 32 million to 41 million units in the same time frame.
The mobile handset that captured the imagination of consumers for most of 2009 was Apple's iPhone as it continued to build on its increasing popularity with the updated iPhone 3GS introduced in June.
