The iPhone keeps on kicking butt! The iPhone currently owns 10.8 of the market and does not seem to be slowing down. Will GTXO benefit?
As
the walls that divide television, computers, and cell phones crumble, it is
increasingly clear that any device's fate will be decided by its ability to
gather and present information on demand. And the cell phone has emerged, for
now at least, as the single most important device in the global marketplace.
Nokia has never managed to leverage its position as a world leader in handset
sales to achieve similar dominance in the United States, where it has only 7%
market share. For years, the company seemed content to target Europe, Asia, and developing countries -- and no doubt there are
plenty of sales to be made in those places. But the rise of Apple's iPhone,
RIM's BlackBerry, and the new Palm Pre -- coupled with the ever-widening supply
of bandwidth available over those devices -- has begun to shake Nokia's
comfortable perch. The iPhone, iTunes, and the wildly successful App Store --
which one analyst says will generate $1.2 billion this year -- have set the
standard for what a mobile, customizable, always-on Internet experience feels
like and has forced the rest of the industry to scramble. Nokia, for its part,
has felt Apple's bite: In 2008, 139 million smartphones were sold worldwide, up
14% from the previous year. Of those, 61 million came from Nokia while 11.4
million were sold by Apple, giving them, respectively, 43.7% and 8.2% of the
market. But in the first quarter of 2009,
Nokia's market share fell to 41.2%, while Apple's rose to 10.8%.
Will GTXO benefit from the explosive growth from the
iPhone?I say yes, the iLOCi2 iPhone is
a one of a kind.This GPS people finder
needs more to be installed on each phone to be able to pinpoint the location
and share that location with the requesting party.It is a true social interactive friend
finding system which I strongly feel will become viral.Check this out!http://www.equitygroups.com/otcbb/gtxo/messages/150911.html
