Samsung gets smart...

Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 10:27AM

It seems that Samsung has recognized the importance of the smartphone market - Samsung aims to triple smartphone sales in 2010 | Reuters - and now has ambitions to triple its shipments. While a target of 18 million smartphones sounds impressive, that doesn't make it a leader:

Nokia's shipping about 21 million units a quarter
Apple's shipping about 9 million

With Nokia's shipments comprising about 40% of the smartphone market, it's on track to be about 220 to 250 million units, depending on how fast it grows; that implies 7-8% market share for Samsung, split across the Android and WinMo platforms.
