Gartner: 1.2BN Smartphones, Tablets To Be Bought In 2013

Summary: Latest research suggests 1.2 billion 'smart devices' will be bought in 2013, with a good proportion of devices focused on business use. In spite of businesses' appeal for Windows, analysts believe it may fall to third-place behind iOS and Android.

Gartner research suggests around 1.2 billion smart devices -- including smartphones and tablets -- will be bought in 2013, up from 821 million this year, passing the crucial 1 billion mark milestone worldwide.

This, the research firm says, will account for around 70 percent of all devices sold.

Why? Flexibility is the key, recommend the experts. Most companies will not see an automated move from PCs to mobile phones and Tablets, but the ability to "look at their system techniques and the way customers accept devices" will change, said Gartner research v. p. Carolina Milanesi.

Gartner considers companies will buy 13 millions Tablets this year, with that figure set to multiply by 4 to 53 thousand models by 2016.

Above all else, Tablets will hold the key to the move towards the post-PC world. That's almost a given considering the development of Tablets, stimulated on by Apple's iPad which rules more than 50 % of the market still, but is dropping thanks to small, less expensive Android os operated gadgets.

Gartner considers that Android os still has a position in the business, calculating that 56 % of mobile phones purchased in Northern The united states and European countries by 2016 will be Android-powered. That said, Android os still presents a risk aspect to the business establishing.

In revenge of the Android os gain in strength over its The apple company product alternatives, many companies are experiencing complications regarding protection and manageability. Two U.S. gov divisions, especially U.S. Traditions and the U.S. Division of Protection, have both made steps to dump the conventional BlackBerry with enterprise-grade protection favoring alternative alternatives. Top of the list is the iPad and iPhone, thanks to its business management performance, something Android os has yet to capture up on.

Gartner identifies this problem:

    The increasing transmission of Android os in the business will keep present difficulties for the IT department and the CIO to ensure that protection and manageability stay a concern. However, Android os and iOS-based gadgets will keep increase their existence in the business side-by-side and in most cases instead of RIM.


Windows 8 and Ms windows RT-powered Tablets, however, which have only just released worldwide, will take the third-place position behind Apple's iOS and Google Android os, as the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) pattern is growing.

Gartner reports that the discuss of Ms windows 8 Tablets and convertibles will reach 39 % in 2016, even if businesses are slowly in usage of the newest Ms os, partly thanks to its essential need to relearn the visual of the program.

The key for Android's success in the business continues to be with the protection and manageability aspect. Ms windows has it, The apple company has it with iOS in iPads and iPhones, but Android os still has yet to confirm its back-end worth.

For the time being, the less expensive system aspect may not be enough to please IT supervisors, despite already-squeezed IT spending costs.
