Carphone Warehouse, the huge UK mobile retail chain, beat its financial expectations over the last quarter – and specifically singled out the Rise of Android as one of the main reasons why.
Here’s what CPW’s chief exec Roger Taylor told financial types after revealing its £794m in sales for the previous quarter:
“This time a year ago we would have been saying that the smartphone demand was mainly for the iPhone and the BlackBerry, but we’ve seen a real advent of Android in the last three to six months”
Proving the point, the front page of CPW’s web site currently features promos for the Samsung Galaxy S and HTC Wildfire, along with the Sony Ericsson X10 family of Android smartphones.
