IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 4, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The second quarter of this year experienced an impressive 43 percent increase with 60 million smartphones -- handsets with computer-like functionality -- shipped worldwide according to a recent report by industry research firm Strategy Analytics (SA). It reported that this was the strongest growth period in almost three years and that the high-end smartphone market is bolstering the market and perhaps leading the industry out of recession.
But while the global smartphone industry volume is still growing, the overall value may be starting to feel the effects of mounting competition. Today's smartphones sport a dizzying array of features, apps and doodads making it more and more important to one-up the competition in order to differentiate the brand.
All this is good news for Aerius International (Pink Sheets:AERS), which announced today that it had contracted with QIGI Bodee Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a NASDAQ traded company with offices in Beijing and Shenzhen China, to manufacture Aerius smartphones featuring its revolutionary antenna technology.
Aerius won the Frost & Sullivan 2009 Green Technologies Award in Wireless Technologies in recognition of its development of a breakthrough cell phone antenna design that increases battery life 2 to 4 hours, increases handset range, and single cell coverage area significantly while reducing the frequency of dropped calls.
