Europeans spent rather more on handheld mobile devices during the first three months of 2004 than they did in the same period a year ago. But while traditional PDAs - even those with wireless functionality - saw double-figure big year-on-year growth, it failed to match the increased interest buyers saw in smartphones, the latest market data from Canalys reveals.

Overall, the mobile device market grew 62 per cent between Q1 2004 and Q1 2003. Nokia remained the market leader, with almost two million devices shipped between January and March this year, enough to grant it almost half the market, itself an increase on its Q1 2003 standing - although its share slipped slightly sequentially.
