12 to 18 months August 26, 2004 [General] | By Edward J. R. It will take 12 to 18 months... ... until smarpthones will achieve breakout: According to the high-tech market research firm, smartphone shipments will experience a 44% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next five years. Those "analysts" are like a pest: they spread some inadequate prophecies, despite not having all data regarding future developments of these phones.... furthermore these analysts make some generic observations that even a school boy could do, like: Some of the reasons why smartphones are taking off include smaller form factors Yeah, right, so popularity of big Pocket PC phones means nothing? They are not small! Another not so intelligent observation is this: Symbian-based smartphones will dominate over the next 5 years. Microsoft’s platform will be second by 2006. Will be second by 2006? Microsoft's platform is second right now!!! By 2006 Microsoft's platform may be first, but observing that it will be second "by 2006" makes no sense because it is alreay second now!!! We advice all readers not to buy research reports from InStat company (that produced aforementioned amateurish observations). They don't offer any new insight into the matter and are just trying to pretend professonalism, where there is none. Another reason why we don't think this report is of any value are some disruptive technological advancements that already arrived (like: the smallest smartphone in the world is Microsoft Smartphone, not Symbian smartphone) or will soon arrive... To read more click here. Please note that in an illustration for this story InStat uses Motorola MPx200 - Microsoft Smartphone - despite so much praising of Symbian phones... Credit: Smartphone Web.
