IRVINE, Calif., May 11, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to Cellular-News in its first quarter 2010 sales report, the worldwide mobile phone market experienced a huge rebound, growing 21.7% over the same quarter last year. Largely fuelled by sales of feature-rich Smartphones, global cell phone sales have been brisk in an otherwise grim world economy.
Additionally, cell phone use among its youngest users has grown even more over the past few years. As ubiquitous as back packs and bike helmets, the cell phone has become the new electronic tether between parent and child. And offering "peace of mind" to moms and dads with a cell phone designed for use by kids is a fast-growing market. According to market research firm Yankee Group, cell phone use in the "tween" market (8 to 12 year-olds) almost doubled from a subscriber base of 5.3 million users in 2006 to about 10.5 million users currently, or almost 54% of the 2010 tween population.
That's why today's news from Aerius International Inc. (Pink Sheets:AERS) that it has reached an agreement with a major cell phone manufacturer in China to produce a new line of children's phones featuring Aerius' patented antenna technology is so exciting. Aerius said initial sales samples of the new phone are expected to be delivered in about 90 days.
Compared to other cell phones, tests of Aerius technology-equipped phones by carriers, the FCC, and independent CTIA Authorized labs worldwide show Aerius increases battery life 3 to 5 hours, doubles coverage area, reduces dropped calls over 60%, and reduces handset power loss into users or SAR an average 99.4%, according to the Aerius announcement.
