Abstract

The ultra mobile device space has been an enigma for many, as market watchers try to determine if it’s a market verging on explosive growth, and, therefore, an opportunity that should not be missed, or, instead, a market that was never meant to be. With major market events such as the ITU acceptance of WiMAX as a 3G standard, In-Stat takes a snapshot look back at the events of 2007 in the UMD market in an attempt to better understand if there is momentum that should not be ignored. Along with the historical snapshot, this report also considers some of the key challenges the market segment faces looking forward. This report considers the following questions:
  • Can there be two internets? There can only be one full-featured Internet.
  • Will users be able to have true mobile connectivity? WiMAX and Gobi bringing anywhere/anytime access closer to reality.
  • Will the consumer accept mobile Internet usage? Companies such as Samsung, Intel, Nokia, and Apple think so, given the successes of 2007’s UMPC, MID, and smart phone products.
  • What are my choices for giving users 8 hours + run times? Moorestown and Isaiah to the rescue.
