Android’s phablet reign to last through 2013 as Apple, RIM and Nokia fail to compete:

Apple (
AAPL) and Research In Motion (
RIMM) will continue to sleep on
the emerging “phablet” market in 2013, according to a new report.
Android vendors including
Samsung (
005930), HTC (
2498) and Sony (
SNE) will capitalize on strong demand for 5-inch smartphones in 2013,
Digitimes claims. Meanwhile Apple,
RIM and Nokia (
NOK) have
no plans for 5-inch smartphones this year according to the site’s unnamed industry sources. How big is the opportunity these companies are missing?
Digitimes cites research suggesting 60.4 million smartphones with screens measuring 5 inches or more will ship this year, and that figure will climb to 146 million units in 2016.
