Smartphone And PDA Forecast For 2006
Windows Mobile. This operating system is trying to win its share of the market. If in the Symbian-segment we’ll clearly see the monopolization, the Windows Mobile segment in 2006 will show us a burst of the number of manufacturers (we mean manufacturers and not trademarks). Until this year the big share of new smartphones and communicators was recorded by the Taiwanese company High tech Computer (HTC). In 2006 this trend will be broken for the first time, the company will get strong rivals, but keep its leadership in sales volume and the number of new models. It’s hard to believe, at least 16 vendors (mainly Taiwanese companies) will fight their place under the sun. And there will be ever more trademarks for the devices.
The well known “Mobile Reviews” website has published an interesting and controversial title on the future of Windows Mobile and smartphones in 2006. You can find and read the article called ‘Communicators, smartphones and PDA in 2006 - the forecast’ here.
