A funny thing happened on the way to the future of the Connected Digital Home. The storage capacity of re-writeable micro-sized disk drives, Flash memory products, and other portable storage devices is surpassing the storage capacity of next-generation optical discs. The convenience of “luggable media” is such that many of the key usage models being promoted for the Connected Digital Home can be realized earlier using a “sneakernet” approach than can be achieved if the industry has to wait for high-quality in-home networks to become part of the consumer mainstream.
The concept of the Connected Digital Home uses a home server, usually, but not necessarily, a personal computer, to manage and distribute electronic entertainment throughout a residence. Plans call for advanced wired and wireless networks to be installed and proliferate throughout tens of millions of households.
Low-cost portable storage devices can move the content throughout the home via “sneakernet.” It’s possible that consumers may opt in favor of “luggable” media because of its low-cost, its availability, and its convenience.
The worldwide retail value of Luggable Media is forecast to rise from about US$441 million during 2006, up to more than US$25 billion during 2010, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 176.5% between 2006 and 2010.
