Smartphone OS the Factor

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - November 29, 2006

IDC has done a new survey of more than 4000 smart phone users from China, Germany, India, the United Kingdom and the United States. According to cnet, the results say that the operating system of the phone is the main differentiating factor in which phone consumers purchase.

"Wi-Fi access and GPS or location-based services are most important to users in the U.K. and U.S. A phone's storage capacity and its ability to provide music and photo quality are the highest priorities in China, Germany and India, the study found.

Palm remains the No. 1 platform among U.S. smart phone owners, according to IDC. Nokia, not so much."
