The worldwide smartphone industry is one of the few that has successfully weathered the current recession; in fact, smartphones actually seem to be recession-proof. But while the number of smartphones continues to grow, so does the number of smartphone OSs, so much so, that 2010 looks like it will be a pivotal year for the survival of smartphone OSs.
This report looks at smartphone trends, including operating systems, hardware content, and consumer preferences, and backs up these trends with a smartphone forecast, regional forecast, a forecast for each major smartphone OS, and forecasts for smartphones with GPS, picoprojectors, accelerometers, image sensors, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Also included are survey results on what features users want in their smartphones, and a bill-of-materials for a typical smartphone.
Future Cellphones: Leveraging Building Blocks for Better Experiences
The majority of phones entering the market over the next few years will provide very different user experiences from those available today. The accelerated adoption of open operating systems has created an innovative environment unique to this market. With compelling user interfaces creating competitive advantages, the market has now shifted its focus from individual features to integrating and improving on existing capabilities to provide the best experience.
This report identifies and quantifies users’ interest in the features and capabilities of their current phones and in what they want in their next phone, while tracking the changes in these opinions over time. The report is In-Stat’s fourth annual future phone study which surveys members of In-Stat’s Technology Adoption Panel (TAP).
The report explores a number of areas: -Current and future cellphone form factors and input preferences -Users’ interest in specific features and capabilities -Emerging technologies that will enable new features and capabilities -Market segments that are leading adoption of new features -Vendors’ progress on bringing new phones, features, and services to market
This report provides a summary by bandwidth, technology, and region in pivot-tables for quick analysis of trends using a combination of subscriptions as well as handset shipments and revenues.
This report includes: -Five-year subscriptions forecasts by wireless technology and region (CDMA, GSM/EDGE, CDMA EV-DO, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+, and LTE) -Five-year handset shipment and revenue forecasts by technology and region.
This report provides a brief view of worldwide mobile PC revenues and shipments. It contains 5-year revenue forecasts for the mobile PC segment as well as 5-year unit shipment forecasts broken down by form factor (notebook, netbook, ultra mobile, and MID). Additionally, historical total unit shipments are provided for the top 5 PC vendors.

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.
The Recession Reshapes the Worldwide Cellular Handset 5-Year Forecast
This In-Dustry Update includes handset shipment, revenues, and ASP forecasts revised using new data about the current economic downturn.
Although cellphone shipments and subscription numbers have held up relatively well, In-Stat believes that the next two years could be difficult for the cellphone industry. Subscription growth is slowing and replacement phones represent a discretionary purchase that can be delayed in times of economic hardship.
This research is critical to companies who are part of the cellphone supply chain.
Included in this research are: - Global mobile phone shipments, revenue, and average selling price by region and technology. - Comparisons with previous forecasts and discussion on the effects of current economic conditions.
Embedded Picoprojectors Ready to Break Out Worldwide
Projector technology has been miniaturizing to the point that a complete projector module can fit into 5cc or less. At the same time, personal devices are providing more entertainment but are limited by screen size. As a result, many companies are developing projectors to embed in a range of products, from cellphones to computers. In-Stat believes this confluence of supply and demand will result in an industry exceeding $1.1 billion within five years.This research provides market sizing and five-year forecasts for products using picoprojector modules: accessory projectors, cellphones, computing devices, personal media players, and other consumer electronics.This report also explains and evaluates competing illumination technologies (LED, laser) as well as MEMS and liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) displays. Also included are profiles of key technology vendors.The forecasts and data provide key decision making data for companies offering picoprojector modules or components. Manufacturers of media players, digital cameras and camcorders, mobile phones, and suppliers of laptop, netbook, ultra-mobile PCs, and mobile Internet devices will also need to understand the market dynamics and picoprojector technology.
