While France has almost 40 million Internet users, Médiamétrie indicates that the country also has 18.3 million mobile users, or 34% more than in 2010. At this rate, there will be many users of mobile computer in three years.

This strong growth of mobile users is logically related to strong sales of smartphones. While smartphones accounted for only 10.7% of the market in early 2009, they now account for 40% of mobile subscribers. The 50% and should be achieved next year.

And who benefits from the success of smartphones? Besides Apple, whose market share in France is still very high most of its competitors have focused on the same horse: Android.
