Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and cellular phones are rapidly converging into what many generically refer to as "smartphones." Gartner defines a PDA as a data-centric handheld that may include a cellular radio. IDC considers any device that offers cellular voice to be a mobile phone or a converged device (aka smartphone). No matter how you slice the pie, many mobile devices shipping today offer more than one wireless interface:
Bluetooth for peripheral (e.g., earbud or PC) connection,
Wi-Fi for internet hotspot and corporate WLAN access, and/or
2G/3G wireless for voice, messaging, and mobile packet-switched data.

[smartphone]市场的划分
这里是指smartphone这个市场份额就象是一块蛋糕(100%的扇形图），有多种划分的方法，Gartner是一种划分方法，IDC提出另一种方法，各包括不同的划分方式。
No matter how you slice the pie, many mobile devices shipping today offer more than one wireless interface: 大致可以译为：
但是，无论怎么划分这个市场，目前市场上所销售的手机都提供一种以上的无线功能（如最基本的语音通话）。
