Hong Kong 26 May, 2010 – Hong Kong consumers are at the forefront of global smartphone usage. Almost half (48%) of respondents in Hong Kong own a smartphone, more than double the global rate of 23%.
"Until fairly recently, smartphone or PDA phones were owned by a very specific group of consumers - mainly tech geeks and business 'road warriors'", says Marc de Lange, Director – Technology Sector. "But in the coming year, Hong Kong will reach an important milestone as more than half of all mobile phone owners start to carry a smartphone in their pockets."
