According to a recently published report by InStats, the market for cellular handsets that include Wi-Fi will exceed 132 million units by the year 2010.
"In-Stat's research found that more than 20 cellular handset models now have, or will soon be released with, embedded WiFi. Some of these dual-mode handsets incorporate VoIP clients for services like Skype, and a few cellular carriers are planning to offer services that support voice calls over both cellular and WiFi. And while it had been assumed that business customers would be first to adopt dual mode handsets, it turns out that consumers are likely to be initially more receptive to the technology, In-Stat notes."
