Australia - Mobile Communications - 2011 Handset Market.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/97b092/australia_mobile) has announced the addition of the "Australia - Mobile Communications - Handset Market" report to their offering.

The handset market in Australia has seen a shift towards other vendors such as HTC and Apple as the smart phone sector takes off. This sector has previously been dominated by Nokia with its total market share of around 40%, but it still dominates in the low end of the market.

The charge in mobile broadband usage is being led by smart phones as telcos drop data charges and more users access the internet using a mobile, many for the first time. The initial release of iPhone started the trend, and with competition from the Android operating system the smart phone market will continue to build.

In mid-2010 the iPhone 4 was released in Australia. BuddeComm predicts that iPhone sales will increase in 2010/11 to much higher than in previous years, while sales volumes in the remainder of the handset market, which by mid-2010 were 17% lower than 2009 figures, will continue to drop.

In this report BuddeComm provides statistics, trends in handsets and an overview of the market. The report also provides information on mobile recycling and developments in the industry, including the rise of smart phones. Key Topics Covered: 1. Synopsis
