Analysts point to the fact that from spring to summer, the worldwide supply components for smart phones increased by 30,9%. Consequently, for autumn to come peak sales. Of course, not all of these components are delivered to Apple, many designed for Acer, HTC, Palm, LG. But in the summer of Apple sold 7.4 million iPhone (by the way, still does not satisfy the demand on the world market completely), so the results of the autumn quarter should be higher.

I must say that there are other, more pessimistic forecasts for iPhone sales in the last quarter: a number of U.S. analysts put the figure at 8.9 million but that it would be a big summer target, there is little doubt.

The main U.S. rival Apple in the smartphone market, RIM, set in the summer of 8.3 million of its BlackBerry and in the last quarter is also counting on the traditional Christmas boom.

Speed of data transmission in the network TeliaSonera, alleged the firm, ranging from 20 to 80 Mbps. However, it is not clear what will be the actual speed on a busy network at rush hour. The network involved a 20-MHz channels, which should be sufficient for stable operation for at least the lower threshold of the claimed range.

Samsung will provide USB-modems to work with a network supporting broadband connection at 2.6 GHz. In the second quarter of 2010 will be new modems to support multiple modes. LTE is not backward compatible with the standards of the second and third generations, so use this modem on such networks will not work.
