The Industry analyzers Canalys, reports that the purchasing trend of mobile users is leaning more and more towards touch screen phones. The study does not differentiate between devices with just touch screens or those with keyboard interfaces so it is hard to say if the touch screens alone are the big seller.
Cell Phones with Touch Screens Sell More
The big cell phone manufacturers are all releasing new touch screen phones in 2010, perhaps a result of their own independent studies. Most notably are the iPhone and the Android phones, (HTC Bravo and the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 are new this year.) With the growing trend for these new touch screen Smartphones, watch for more to be released in the coming months.
Devices that offer both the touch screen and the keyboard are also highly in demand. Personally I like the combo effort. I find it easier to text on the keyboard. What’s your preference?
