31% of All Mobile Phones to be Smartphones by 2013. A new study from ABI Research indicates that 31% of all mobile phones in 2013 will be a smartphone. Currently, one in ten cellphones (10%) are smartphones.

"Smart operating systems are continually being optimized to run on processors with lower performance. There is a strategic move to support smart OSes in single chip midrange devices in order to unlock more data revenues," said ABI Research vice president Stuart Carlaw.

The report finds that the iPhone effect is truly filtering through the handset market as other OEMs strive to remain competitive. Features that look set to proliferate and become central to enhancing user interface experiences include touchscreens, touchpads, and accelerometers facilitating tilt and shock sensing, as well as haptics providing tactile feedback.

It seems that more people will have a smartphone in their pockets in the next 4-5 years.
