Emerging Trends in the Mobile Consumer Electronics Universe Today

Dublin, Ireland (PRWEB) February 22, 2006 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c33112) has announced the addition of Mobile Consumer Electronics - The Era of Nomadic Content to their offering.

An analysis of the emerging trends in the mobile Consumer Electronics (CE) universe, now having to contend with increasing competition from the world of telecommunications and computing.

A fledgling but diverse market
- The combination of digitisation, technological advancements in data storage and the ability to personalise how content is consumed have all helped fuel the development of nomad CE
- The nomad CE market creates competition between players from different industries, all implementing distinct business models

Content availability: a central challenge
- Online music, mobile TV and VoD beginning to drive the market
- Personal content too is a key growth area for nomad CE
- Still uncertain distribution (broadcasting, streaming, downloading) and billing modes
- In the long run, fixed-mobile convergence may undermine the existence of a dedicated mobile content market

The mobile devices of tomorrow
- Ubiquitous devices, web-enabled and personal
- Multi-function service access kiosks
- Standardised and interoperable portable audio & video libraries

Stakes and challenges for the industry
- New model emerging: "portable device/service" combination
- Portability increases time spent consuming content and its personalisation
