| The PDA Market: 2004 Review and Outlook
for 2005 |
 |
Shipments of PDAs continued their decline
in 2004. While PDAs have evolved into multimedia and business data
devices, they are also converging with smartphones and other multimedia
devices such as portable media players. We expect the coming year
to follow the trend of declining shipments, as more products become
categorized in other product segments; however, with advances in software
and components and lower unit prices, the market will still offer
opportunities for consumers in niche markets and replacement users,
and for the corporate space with new more ruggedly designed corporate
products and wireless PDAs.
This report compiles research and analyses on the worldwide
PDA market and provides profiles of major vendors and their most recent
products. It also discusses market trends, opportunities and challenges
facing this mature market. It forecasts unit shipments and revenues
for the period 2003 to 2009 and depicts processor market shares and
revenue. In addition, it provides a review of the market in 2004,
in terms of unit shipments, vendor and operating system market shares
and trends.
In-Stat defines PDAs as handheld devices that are either pen
or keypad-centric, and are capable of synchronizing with desktop or
notebook computers. Some products may include wireless capabilities
that enable Internet access and voice communication. |
