We are officially in the realm dominated by mobile. A while ago shipments of laptops overtook desktops. For the first time shipments of smartphones surpassed shipment of PCs and tablet computers. During 2011 vendors shipped 488 million smart phones in 2011, compared to 415 million PCs and tablets according to Canalys, which chart is below.
If we look at details, as expected shipments are dominated by Android and iPhone. Symbian has shrank by 30% and Windows Phone market share also has declined. It will be interesting to see if Windows Phone will be overtaking market share from Symbian and BlackBerry in the year 2012 as I am predicting it to happen.
