Honey , I shrunk the PC !

For the first time , smart phones have overtaken PC

Here are the shipment statistics :

Ø   Smart  Phones

·        2010  …………………………………..  299.7   million

·        2011  ………………………………………487.7  million  (  + 62.7  %  )

Ø    PCs

·        2010   ……………………………………..361.15  million

·        2011   ………………………………………414.6    million   ( +  14.8  %  )

 Of course , no one is , as yet , writing off the PCs , but this could be the beginning of bad days for the PC manufacturers

More and more smart phone manufacturers are coming out with tablets having built-in telephoning capabilities !

How long before leading computer manufacturers re-configure their assembly lines to churn out smart phones ?

With Asian companies like FoxConn ready to make any electronic gadget given 2 weeks notice , there is no problem !

With regards
