Smartphones and tablets have become incredibly popular over the last few years, according to research firm Gartner, there will be a total of 821 million smart devices sold by the end of 2012.
This is set to increase significantly, with projections of around 1.2 billion smart devices in 2013, where tablets and smartphones are set to get even more popular, and tablet sales are set to grow substantially next year.
Both Apple and Google’s Android are the top players in the smart devices at the moment, with Apple’s iPhone, and a number of Android devices like the Samsung Galaxy S III being the top players at the moment.
It will be interesting to see how things develop over the next few years, with devices like Google’s Nexus 7 and Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablets, as well as Apple’s iPad range becoming even more popular.
