At the “Qualcomm China Partner Conference and Innovation Showcase” held this morning, Cristiano Amon, Senior Vice President of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, said, “With the development of the Chinese 3G industry, the global communications market has begun to take a favorable turn. Qualcomm predicts that the global 3G handset shipments will surpass 2G handset shipments in 2010 for the first time, which will become a turning point for the telecom industry.” Mr. Amon said, “Smartphones will account for more and more of the global handset shipments, and most of them will support 3G. The data released by different market survey firms show that the percentage of 3G handsets shipments will become higher and higher, relative to total handset shipments, and we believe that global 3G handset shipments will equal non-3G handset shipments in late 2009 or early 2010.”
