Mobile Phone Sale Rising Higher: The Boston flogger of IT industry analysis explains that worldwide mobile phone sales totalled 314.7 million units in the first quarter of 2010, a 17 per cent increase from the same period in 2009. Carolina Milanesi, research vice president at Gartner said, "This means RIM made it to the top five mobile devices manufacturers and Apple increased its market share by 1.2 percentage points." Growth of the Mobile Market: ![]() Growth in the mobile devices market was driven by double-digit growth of smartphone sales in mature markets, helped by wider product availability as well as mass market price tags. Milanesi further said, "Increasing sales of white-box products in some emerging regions, in particular India, also drove sales of mobile phones upward. We expect sales of white-box products to remain very healthy for the remainder of 2010, especially outside of China." Interestingly, the top five phone makers had sucked up 73.3 per cent of the market in the first quarter of 2009, but they were down to 70.7 per cent in the first quarter of 2010. However the market results were skewed by the appearance of Android, where sales of Android-based phones increased 707 per cent year-on-year.
