Smartphones Will Lead by the End of 2011

Nearly 30 percent of cell phone users in the United States have smartphones up from 19 percent the year before, according to fall 2010 data released by the Nielsen Company.

While smartphones are still in the minority, they probably won’t be for long. Nielsen also reported that smartphones accounted for 41 percent of all cell phone purchases in the second half of 2010, up from 30 percent a year earlier.

Another Nielsen Company study predicts that more Americans will have smartphones than feature phones by the end of 2011.
