According to In-Stat Ultra Mobile Device Market Will Be Defined by Multiple Forms
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. --(Business Wire)-- The ultra mobile device market, initially defined by the ultra mobile PC, is evolving to become a family of devices that will compose the "ultra mobile device (UMD) paradigm," reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). One ultra mobile device will not be able to meet all of the different UMD usages/applications, the high-tech market research firm says. Three key features differentiate UMDs from products like PDAs and smart phones. First, UMDs must run a full operating system. Second, they must run any application as originally developed and compiled for PCs or notebooks. Third, UMDs must run full web pages unmodified (including flash and java applets) to provide complete Internet experiences.
"The new paradigm also requires specific market inflection points in the mass availability of anytime/anywhere wireless communications, as well as new business models for application programs for widespread adoption," says Ian Lao, In-Stat analyst. "Many of these requirements are already in the late stages of development or roll-out."
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
-- The UMD worldwide forecast is for more than 8 million units in 2011.
-- 2008-2010 will be key years for the development of a market inflection point of anytime/anywhere wireless connectivity that is necessary for widespread adoption of the UMD paradigm.
The research, "Ultra Mobile Device (UMD, UMPC, MID, Micro PC) ... A New Paradigm For Mobile User Applications" (#IN0703492SI), covers the worldwide market for ultra mobile devices. It provides a worldwide unit shipment forecast for UMDs through 2011. Extensive discussion of market drivers and barriers is also provided, including the technological developments necessary for market development. In addition to the report, Ian and other In-Stat analysts provide consulting services on a variety of technical and market topics regarding the semiconductor and electronics industries.
