The introduction of the MID and UMPC platforms has ignited the market for mobile devices to combine communications, computing, and entertainment functionality around the use of the Internet, or the true convergence device. Much of this is due to the efforts of one company—Intel. However, the potential for these and other mobile devices is changing rapidly due to changes in critical technologies, applications, customer expectations and usage models, and even emerging business models that are often driven by the carriers.
Despite the impact of MIDs and UMPCs on the market, they still face challenges in overcoming performance limitations and in attracting interest from both consumers and carriers. These platforms also face the challenge of creating definitive positions in the mobile market as an increasing number of other cellular and consumer devices become connected for more specific applications. While this does not limit the potential success of these platforms, it does create some challenges.
This report examines the changing market dynamics for the MID and UMPC platforms.
