IDC Predicts Cellphone Slow Down in 2005

IDC is predicting a slow down in the growth rate of cellphone sold in 2005. The reason being there aren't any incremental drivers like the integration of digital cameras and color screens in 2004. The research firm says it will take new 3G services and content to drive another wave of significant growth. They expect 3G phones to be 25% of the market by 2007.
