#WIRELESS: "Smartphones, Tablets in Everybody's Future"

Apple sold almost 48 million iPhones in the fourth quarter of 2012 alone, but ABI Research claims that the total installed base of 45 million Windows Phones and 20 million Blackberry-10s is still enough to interest software app developers in supporting them. The total installed base of smartphones worldwide will be 1.4 billion by the end of 2013 with 57 percent running Android and 21 percent iOS; whereas there will be 268 million tablets total--62 percent using iOS and 28 percent Android. Annual growth for smartphones will be 44 percent and a whopping 125 percent for tablets, all according to ABI Research (Oyster Bay, N.Y.): R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog
