I am glad Windows Phone is growing. Hope the apps on Windows Phone will grow too
Mine already fill up the whole screen, if they made them bigger the edges of the app would be chopped off! What a silly idea.
Apart from the Blackberry, iOS and Windows Phone numbers... it's quite normal
This is S.A. we're talking about, we're so backward it's scary...
Hahaha! You just had to go there
Interesting numbers. Rapid growth in the Android platform however I do question if these are "smart devices" or basic entry level mobile devices. I think its important not to confuse high-end devices with basic devices that run on the Android/Blackberry platform.
Why the need to differentiate?
A cheap R600 to R1000 Android smartphone (Gobii, Smart Kicka, Steppa, etc.) can do pretty much everything a R10000 Android smart phone can do, albeit a bit slower.
Cheap R600 smartphone does not run all games that a R10000 smartphone can.
Okay, some 3D intensive games will not work on entry level smart phones.
I personally don't know of people using their phones for high-end gaming and the ones who do play games usually pick the simple ones which run on entry level hardware so I don't think any differentiation is needed.
I still don't agree. Angry Birds Star Wars 2 is a simple game, but does not work on a simple phone. (well at least not on my kids Fondi tablet)

Hmm, Windows Phone doing much better than I would have expected.
