From the linked page,

Worldwide Mobile Devices uses the established Canalys smart mobile device product segmentation and definitions to give clients a consistent worldwide view of the market for handhelds, wireless handhelds and smart phones. (my italics)
I'd love to see those definitions. Especially the smart phones. Note, not smartphones or Smartphones, but smart phones. How smart does a phone have to be to be considered smart?

I've recently been noting some interesting usage of 'wireless' when it comes to handhelds too. In this case I assume it means you can make regular phone calls, (as opposed to just VoIP phone calls). I always thought though that IR, BT, and WiFi were wireless technologies. I've even seen GPS starting to be listed as a wireless technology, as in "has four types of wireless technolgies, WiFi, BT, GSM/GPRS & GPS".
