Google releases data from their Mobile Planet Initiative showing clear signs of global smartphone growth
In October of last year Google launched Our Mobile Planet, allowing people to see the ways that smartphones are changing the way people connect and use their smartphone.
Yesterday, they released their 2012 research data to the public via this blog post and the data conclusively states that rapidly growing smartphone use is a global trend. Australia, U.K., Sweden, Norway, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates each have more than half of their population on smartphones. Seven others, the U.S., New Zealand, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland—now have greater than 40 percent smartphones.
