The Guardian website has published some very long winded numbers from Gartner, who seem to be the ‘go to’ people if the mobile phone industry needs some numbers crunched.  On the whole these stats are usually pretty boring but the third quarter numbers for 2010 have actually pointed out some interesting trends in the smartphone [...]
