WiFi-capable phones were forecast to grow quickly
A January 2007 market report predicted rapid growth for mobile phones that combined WiFi, VoIP and cellular use.
What the report described
The appeal was the prospect of moving between a wireless LAN and mobile service with one device. Infonetics figures in the report described recent sales growth and projected very large shipment increases through 2010.
How to read the claim
Those rates and sales totals are historical analyst projections, not a measure of today’s handset market.
