Or has it? The infographic below, courtesy ofanalysts from Vision Mobile, shows the stunning growth of a market,which could be slowed down only for a while in the worst days of theglobal economic crisis.
In the early days, the industry wasdominated by European brands such as Nokia, Siemens and theSwedish-Japanese JV Sony-Ericsson, but as time passed Asianmanufacturers and computer makers like Apple replaced them in thehighly competitive field. Siemens was the first victim of thetransition to smarter phones and even companies like Sony Ericssonand Motorola fell out of the top 5 list. Take a look at the graph andfeel a part of history in the making.
