Samsung this month sold its 50 millionth touchscreen phone confirming it is a force to reckon with in the market for smartphones. The Korean giant managed to sell 10 million pieces in 2008 but the number jumped to 40 million this year marking a rapid adoption of full touch screen phones. Samsung is on track to exceed its 2009 sales target of 200 million mobile phones, with full touch models accounting for approximately 20 percent of mobiles sold. Full touch screen models made up around 5 percent of Samsung's sales in 2008. Samsung for now has nothing to stand against the iPhone but makes up with medium-end touchscreen phones like the Corby and Star.
