Abstract
Report Summary
The market for digital interface technologies continues growing and includes
USB, 1394, DVI, HDMI, and Bluetooth, among others. USB is both the most-owned
and most-used PC interface. 1394 is the next most widely owned PC interface,
followed by Bluetooth, DVI, and HDMI.
This survey tracks the ownership of five interface technologies among
In-Stat' s Technology Adoption Panel in both work and home PCs: USB, 1394, DVI,
HDMI, and Bluetooth. It also queried the 1,379 online respondents about what
they connected their PCs to using these technologies, including PC
peripherals, CE, and mobile devices. In addition, the survey included
questions about respondents' interest in next-generation ultrawideband-based
technologies, such as Wireless USB and high-speed Bluetooth, and their
willingness to pay for the inclusion of these technologies in PCs and mobile
phones. Demographic information about the respondents, including age, gender,
income, and marital status, is included.

them use it to connect to a headset.
