+ - SPAM: Smartphone sales to top a billion by 2015 1

Submitted by cylonlover
cylonlover writes "According to new research from iSuppli, smartphone sales will top a billion units a year by 2105 as the smartphone's share of phone shipments rockets from 15.8% in 2009, to 32.5% this year to 54.4% in 2015). Planet Earth only has 6.75 billion human inhabitants. By the turn of the decade, the vast majority of human beings will be carrying a networked personal computer on their person at all times."
