AAC Acoustic Technologies Holdings (not to be confused with the AAC that is Advanced Audio Codec) has announced that it expects Nokia to overtake Motorola as it’s largest customer this year:
“Revenue from Nokia would account for more than 25 per cent of AAC’s total sales this year….compared with 10 per cent last year, while revenue earned from sales to Motorola is set to decrease to about 25 per cent of total sales this year from 37 per cent last year.”
At the same time it was also announced that sales to RIM, Palm, and Apple would also be sizeable -together they are expected to increase their share of AAC’s total sales to a combined 15 per cent from 5 per cent last year.
AAC Acoustic Technologies develop and manufacture a complete range of Cellular Phone Receivers, Hearing Aid Receivers, Miniature Speakers, Miniature Multi-function Speakers, Headsets, Microphones and Transducers & Buzzers – and obviously pretty well, judging by the news above!!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
