Apple overtake Nokia in less than four years

According to Generator Research, the market share of Apple smartphones is growing at the speed of light, enough so that you can overcome the Nokia in less than four years. The analyst group provides a complete reversal of the market, and believes that by 2013, Nokia will drop 40 percent share to just 20 percent. At that time Apple is expected to reach 33 percent of the market with the iPhone. The estimate indicates that Apple will match the Nokia sometime in 2011, selling 77 million phones this year alone.

Generator Research sees Apple entering a "golden age", the rapid growth is due to the combination of the iPhone with the App Store, there is also the advantage of the software is compatible with mobile phones and iPods.

This shift is due to an inability to respond to Nokia's new smartphones. The decline is attributed to Nokia's slow response has given competitors. The company took over a year and a half to react to supply Apple with a touch-screen mobile (5800) and only now released the second in the form of N97. The rapid expansion of the iPhone App Store requires Nokia to launch Nokia Ovi Store, a central portal software, although there is the N-Gage and online music store.
