Worldwide and U.S. UMPC 2007-2011 ForecastProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: IDC Published: January 2008 Product Code: R104-32585 Description
This IDC study looks at the worldwide and U.S. UMPC market and forecasts shipments out to 2011. "UMPCs are one of the new product types to come out of the market's recent emphasis on the notebook market. There has been considerable confusion around what a UMPC is, who it targets, and what kind of market opportunity it represents. Much of the confusion comes from a lack of consistent definition. The definition we are using for UMPC is a notebook unit with a screen less than 7in. diagonally across, weighing about 1?1.5lbs, running a full operating system, and compatible with applications used in a typical notebook or desktop PC. Our forecast calls for a rather conservative shipment outlook for the next four years for UMPCs. This is partly because there is still strong demand for basic notebooks during the forecast period and marketing behind the value of UMPCs hasn't been clearly articulated." ?
