iPhone driving Smartphone sales?

Well, it looks like the iPhone is making the sales of smartphones go up, In the U.S. alone, the number of people with smartphones doubled last year to about 14.6 million, said Mark Donovan, an analyst at M:Metrics. Following years of sluggish sales, smartphone sales are growing much faster than the overall rate for mobile phones, he said. While more than 188 million Symbian phones have sold since the software’s inception, Apple had sold 3.7 million phones by the end of 2007. Just wait until the 3G iPhone come out, I think the sales to further increase if not rocket up.
