"The Central European SHD market boomed again in 2003. Still far from saturation, the SHD market offers vendors solid growth opportunities. Nevertheless, vendors must bear in mind that both consumer and enterprise end users now have a greater understanding of SHD technology, and will be less likely to be excited by new features, applications, or services than they were in previous years. End users will be looking for real added value from new devices." ? Jan Siroky, Program Manager, IDC CEMA Office Automation Group.
