Everyone’s buying mobile phones

John Moe Nov 10, 2010

Okay, we all know that. But the numbers are kind of astounding. Mobile phone sales were up 35% in the last quarter. And smartphones were up a whopping 96%. Sometimes we wonder whether we should talk so much about smartphones on the show but we do it because there’s so much happening on that platform and because, apparently, everyone will soon have one.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you.
