Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but : are smartphones ( iPhone/Blackberry/Android...) popular in Chile ? It could be useful to know for entrepreneurs targeting mobile products.
Chilean here. Smartphones are very popular already. Blackberries used to be popular only among executives, and the first iPhones where very expensive, but they're way more common nowadays. I don't have numbers, but I'd say that in Chile the Blackberries and iPhones have the most of the market, in that order.
My casual estimate as a Chilean: A lot of the more tech-savvy/well-off people have iphones. There's a handful of Blackberries out there and virtually no Androids. Most people have dumb-phones.
