Smartphone vendors shipped a total of 99.6 million units in Q1 of this year, nearly double the 55.4 million units in the first quarter of 2010. IDC attributes the growth to a combination of vendors releasing highly anticipated models, widespread availability of older smartphones at lower prices, and sustained end-user demand.
