Abstract
With a record number of smartphones being launched in the first nine months of
this year, Telsyte sees 2008 as the year of the smartphone in Australia,
following the rollouts of HSPA networks, which created excitement and drove
much of the country' s mobile market developments last year. This fast-growing
and highly competitive market has been rejuvenated by the debut of the
long-awaited Apple iPhone.
Produced annually as the flagship report in Telsyte' s Vendor Competitive
Analysis Series, this study provides a detailed comparative analysis of
leading smartphones and vendors in the Australian market. It is an essential
guide for organisations planning to mobile their workforce with smartphone
technologies.
Key findings from this study include:
- Annual mobile phone shipments in Australia have grown by nearly 60% in the
past five years, with Telsyte projecting 10.8 million handsets shipped in
2008. Three million smartphones are expected to be shipped in 2008,
constituting nearly 30% of this year' s total mobile handset shipments.
- Since the inception of the smartphone market in Australia in 2003, over
140 models of smartphones have been introduced, led by Nokia with 81 models,
and BlackBerry with 18 models.
- The Apple iPhone has redefined the smartphone market and heightened
consumer awareness around next-generation smartphones - a move that has
benefited both the vendor and its competitors alike. These next-generation
smartphones are characterised by a large touch screen with highly intuitive
gesture-based input mechanism and very few or no buttons.
- Smartphone users who make up 9% of Australia' s overall mobile phone user
base, spend considerably more (20-70%) on mobile services compared to their
regular phone user counterparts.
- Telsyte' s end user research suggests Australia' s largest smartphone
vendors by installed base are Finland' s Nokia (33%), Canada' s BlackBerry
(17%), Taiwan' s HTC including O2 and dopod (9%), US-based Palm (7%), Korea' s
Samsung (4%) and Dubai-based iMate (4%).
- Nokia is perceived very well in price competitiveness, ease to use, and
reliability, but weak in technology innovation, multimedia, and PC/IT system
compatibility.
- BlackBerry scores highly in technology innovation and security in the
minds of business users, while being seen as prestigious by consumer users. It
is seen as very strong in business offerings and PC/IT system compatibility,
but not as a price competitive device.
- Handset features valued by business users include multi-mode connectivity
(3G/WiFi) and mobile PBX functionality, while in-demand applications include
mobile VoIP, IM, locationbased services, social networking, and
line-of-business applications, led by CRM in particular.
- For consumers, strong adoption trends are seen around mobile IM, search,
maps, Internet browsing, wireless email and social networking as well as the
concept of fixed-mobile convergence. They also prefer phones with a large
touch screen, already a feature of many modern smartphones.
- While the smartphone OS market landscape remains unsettled, open-source
platform momentum is building as user and carrier preferences slowly shift
towards choice.
- Telsyte finds a large untapped market opportunity for entry-level,
first-time smartphone users, a segment that can be effectively subsidised by
mobile advertising.
- Telsyte suggests that smartphone vendors differentiate through form factor
choice and latest features, covey the right image to the right target
audience, and promote the products directly to users.
- They must also work with carriers to offer packages with exclusivity,
educate users on usage and future applications, and open up their platforms to
grow ecosystem partners while maintaining their unique competitive and secure
features.
- Conclusion and recommendations.
