Worldwide Smart Handheld Device 2004-2008 Forecast Update: The Shift Toward Converged DevicesProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: IDC Published: December 2004 Product Code: R104-18222 Description
This IDC study delivers first-half 2004 actual shipments and vendor market share comparisons for first-half 2003 and 2004 and updates the long-range forecast through 2008. Examining the market reality of 2004, this study offers in-depth analysis on current and future market trends along with key recommendations and guidance for vendors and enterprises. After a disappointing second quarter forced a downward revision for 2004 shipment expectations, the worldwide handheld device market remains caught in the same momentum that has led to lowered estimates during the past quarters. With continued intense competition from converged mobile devices contributing to dim prospects for the future growth of unconnected handheld devices, the composition of the smart handheld device market continues to shift. Meanwhile, the surging converged mobile device market looks to surpass handheld devices for the first time in 2004 and will quickly grow to make up the majority of the smart handheld device market over the course of the forecast period. Although mass-market consumers move to embrace telephony-first converged devices, the unconnected handheld device continues to struggle for relevance in an increasingly wireless world. "Increasing vendor, carrier, and user acceptance of converged mobile devices has led to a surge in the smart handheld device market despite a struggling pen-based handheld device market. Although pockets of growth still exist for the handheld device market, 2004 marks the first year of the converged mobile device's ascendancy to the leading spot in the overall smart handheld device market." ?
