2010 is the Year of the Smartphone According to Mobiles.co.uk

YORK, England, May 28, 2010 - 2010 is proving to be the year to usher in the smartphone as the leading
device within the mobile phone industry. Allowing users to not only call and
text but enjoy entertainment on the go, run multiple applications at a time,
customise their phone according to their own interests, and download 3rd
party applications from dedicated platforms, the smartphone also offers
advanced PC like capabilities such as editing office documents, and run on
productivity based operating systems such as Windows Mobile or Google Android
(www.mobiles.co.uk/android-mobile-phones.html).

This year, market research companies have conducted polls confirming that
the smartphone market is leading the way with dozens of new models being
released every month from Android devices like the HTC Desire (

(www.mobiles.co.uk/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10.html) to messaging based
Blackberrys including the Curve 8520 (

(www.mobiles.co.uk/blackberry-9700-bold-2.html).

Smartphones are also becoming cheaper as they become more popular with
tariffs ranging from as little as GBP15 per month on leading networks such as
Orange and Vodafone. The upcoming HTC Wildfire, budget equivalent to the
Desire still operating on the HTS Sense software, is one such example proving
that manufacturers are noticing the trend and shaping their releases
accordingly, appealing to to the masses with low end alternatives.

The biggest contributor to the increasing Smartphone range however
remains Apple Inc and their award winning iPhone. The 3G and faster 3GS was
the first foray into mobile phones for the American based technologies
company and their huge Apple Apps Store and user friendly operating system
ensured the iPhone was the must have phone of the past two years.

With the announcement of their next model expected in June, Apple will
hope to continue their dominance of the smartphone market, with HD video
recording and a higher megapixel camera expected to be the most noticeable
updates.
