Mobile Handset Inventories Bulk Up
ElectronicsNews.com.au (July 27, 2009) — The handset vendors have a spring in their step as Q2 2009 results come in, says analyst ABI Research. The exception is North America which is still struggling economically. In contrast, Asian economies have been lifted by regional stimulus packages and by an anticipation of improved retail sales conditions in the latter part of H2 2009. Overall, the company is revising downwards its forecast 2009 contraction to -7.5 percent from -8.1 percent (to 1.11 billion units).
