スマートフォンの時代。AppleとRIMで携帯電話の利益の大半を稼ぐ — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 23:54:30 +0000

[...] Will this give Apple a continued monopoly over touchscreen mobile devices? Maybe, but I do think companies such as Palm will negotiate their way around this somehow. These companies will have engineers and researches working on technologies to improve the existing interfaces and no doubt we’ll see more advances in the next year or so. For the moment though, It would appear Apple will continue to build upon impressive iPhone sales despite overall mobile shipments apparently falling. [...]

People are obviously so happy with their iPhone’s that they see no need to ever upgrade again, hence the decline… :/

At least in Canada, cell phone carriers were subsidized to branch out their networks and now they’re not giving back any of that money to the people in the form of low (read: reasonable) prices. Ex. It’s still $0.10 CAD a text messages for most carriers.

All Mobile phones tend to look the same and have the same features now.In the old days changing your phone every year was a must to get the latest features but these days most people have 2+ yr old phones.

The phone makers have ran out of things to differenciate themselves from the competition.

These guys have barely penetrated emerging markets. Growth in China, Europe and North America is slowing, but there are opportunities in India, South America, etc. to offset the weakness in CENA.
