Tony Smith writes about what users are asking for in the smartphone market.

“The iPhone’s appeal may be settling down – at least in the US – and it’s almost entirely due to the rise of Android, according to a survey conducted by market watcher ChangeWave. In September, it asked 4000 consumers about their smartphone purchase plans. Of those who intend to buy such a gadget in the next three months, 38 per cent said they’d pick the iPhone while almost as many – 37 per cent – said they’d opt for an Android device.”
