PDA growth in the age of the smartphone
PDA growth in the age of the smartphone
10/29/2003 12:11 AM A recent article in the
Economist questions whether or not the PDA market will continue
to grow in the face of competition from smartphones and other
Web-enabled mobile devices.
Although final sales figures are not yet
available, it seems very likely that sales of smartphones overtook
sales of PDAs in the third quarter of this year.
The article echos the findings of an IDC press release from August 2003. Among their key
findings:
• Worldwide units shipment of handheld devices
will decrease by 8.4% in 2003.
•On the strength of improved form factors,
platforms, component technology, and lower price points, converged
mobile devices have become increasingly accessible to mass mobile
phone user.

TCL's First Smartphone: e777
08/23/2004 06:30 AM
SlashPhone has gathered up some information about a new
Microsoft Windows Smartphone clamshell from Chinese vendor TCL, called
the e777. It's a dual-band (900/1800) flip with SD/MMC support and a
megapixel camera, with no word on the speed of the main processor.
Looks okay if, you know, sort of boring. What's the point of having a
smart phone without a keyboard? (I know, but come on.)
I do like the camera button that has a graphic of a camera
silk-screened onto it. It only took us four years and legions of
engineers to figure that out.

Smartphone Market shares
06/02/2004 12:53 AMJust when you were thinking "I wonder what the market share of
Smartphones is....." - here it is.
And with Russel beattie's analysis - to boot!
Smartphone
Market Recap.
Palm Info
Center has the results of the Canalys worldwide smartphone results for
Q1. This has been big news this morning on just about every mobile
news site there is. What I find most interesting is that this is the
first time I've seen that Canalys has combined the mobile device
numbers. I remember when I reported on the same sort of chart from
last year and it was obvious that smart phones were outselling PDAs by
large margin, but the numbers were on two different charts.
First, not to continue beating on poor Palm, but you can see by the
numbers that Nokia is wooping PalmOne's ass. PalmOne's numbers include
everything from the $79 Zires to their Treos and Nokia is still
outselling them by almost double - and the cheapest Nokia smart phone
costs at least $300. It's clear as day, even though the PDA market is
increasing in real numbers, the percentages of mobile devices are
dwindling fast (follow the link above for more on those numbers).
Combine this with Sony's announcement today that they are suspending
new development of Clies here in the U.S. (the other big news of the
day) and you can see the writing on the wall.
Sony's news is definitely interesting as I've been betting on Sony
buying PalmSource. Why? Well first, I read that Sony is interested,
but secondly Sony is one of the only major device manufacturers
without control over their own OS. I can't imagine that Sony likes
paying Symbian for their OS on the P900s or PalmOS for their Clies.
Now I wonder if this will still happen. Pulling Clies out of the
market where Palms sell the best? Not a good sign. I'm sure it's
another example where Sony has decided not to bet on a dwindling
market - the same as the announcement not too long ago that they
aren't going to be developing any more low-end digital cameras,
instead ceding that market to mobile camera phones. Clies still will
be developed in Japan where I guess they are still very popular, but I
really wonder what Sony's long-term plan is for their device OS.
PalmOS, Symbian, Linux, TRON? Something else? Not having their own
means a clear risk of becoming a Dell-like commodity manufacturer.
They must realize this.
Back to the chart above. I will say that I thought Nokia was
selling a lot more phones. 1.6 million smart phones in 3 months isn't
as nearly as high as I thought it would be. It's nothing to sneeze at,
but in order for Symbian and Series 60 to become a mass market OS,
those numbers need to increase exponentially. Nokia announced that
they are shipping the 7610 as of today everywhere besides the U.S.
(why?!?) but with a price around $699 - that's not going to help this
situation.
There's two things I'm just outright ignoring in the report:
regional discrepencies insales and Research In Motion. I think that as
time goes by - even as quickly as the next year, we're going to see
sales even out throughout the world. Basically, it'll be Symbian and
then everyone else. Secondly, I have no idea what to make from
Research In Motion. Their devices are still so proprietary and
bulky... I just see them as a continuing niche player. That doesn't
mean they'll disappear like Palm, they've got continuing revenues from
any manufacturer who's device allows you to check email wirelessly,
but in terms of actual devices I don't see the becoming anything but
more segmented as time goes by.
Here's my thoughts on what's going to happen in the next 6 months.
Ready? We're going to see Motorola go up the ranks considerably and
we're going to see Samsung appear out of the "other" category. Why?
Because both companies have licensed the various OSes and are going to
be targeting Nokia's lead in the market with everything they've got.
Windows Mobile 2003 does not suck, Moto's phones are not bad, and
Samsung can crank them out. As competition increases in the smart
phone market, all these numbers on the chart above are going to be
continually in flux over the next year, and it should be very
interesting to watch.
That said, the *next* chart I'd like to see is these numbers
compared with Java-enabled multimedia capabile mobiles as well, just
to see the discrepency in sales between what's happening at the
"high-end" and what's happening with the mass-market. If this chart
includes devices as low-powered as the Zires, then it seems ridiculous
that more-than capable phones with PIM and messaging functionality
like the Nokia 6800 aren't included as well.
I mean, really, that chart above is tracking 5 million of the 600+
million devices that are going to be sold this year. It's interesting,
but its not anywhere near in perspective as it could be.

Dell Smartphone Next Year?

Brighthand is reporting that Dell may be
considering entering the consumer cellular market next year, citing an
anonymous source that works with Dell. It's funny, but whether or not
you find this notable can probably be determined on how you frame this
news. "Dell building cellular-network PDA hybrid," doesn't really give
anybody a softie. "Dell to Launch a Mobile Phone," sounds a lot more
interesting. Let's work with that.
It's unknown if this device will actually be a more phone-like
device, like say the Treo or any of the Windows Smartphone handsets,
but it is reported to have a small keyboard in place of a numberpad,
and come in both GSM and CDMA versions.

class="right"/>T-Mobile is set to release a music-playing phone in
its native Germany that is both terminally uninteresting and also the
future of portable music players. Called the 'SDA Music,' it's a run
of the mill Windows Mobile 2003 for Smartphones-based candybar, with a
tri-band radio and Bluetooth and all that. And to look at the specs,
it's pretty worthless as a music player, with 64MB of ROM and 32MB of
RAM, although certainly the SD card slot is meant to be used as music
storage. So what makes it so special?
It has a play buttons on the front. That's it, really, but if you
think about it, it's probably a sign of things to come. Phones aren't
going to kill the iPod quite yet, but with a couple gig SD card and a
decent interface, there's no reason they shouldn't kill flash players.
(Thanks, Jon!)

03/14/2003 02:10 PMGossip is more properly the domain of Gawker, our sibling blog, but
there's a rumor going around that Samsung is dropping its plans to
build a Microsoft Smartphone-powered cellphone, and is going to use
Symbian's Series 60 operating system instead. Samsung would have been
the only major cellphone manufacturer to use Smartphone, so losing
