Abstract
SYNOPSIS
This report will re-examine the portable multimedia player market after the
first report was published two years ago in 2005. Besides highlighting and
updating the technology and feature trends, this report will focus on
analyzing consumers' usage of the device and evaluating the impact of the
latest digital media consumption trends on the adoption and positioning of the
device relative to other portable entertainment platforms.
"Two years have passed and the portable multimedia player remains an uncertain
product category," said Harry Wang, Senior Analyst with Parks Associates.
"Part of the problem is, although we' ve had so far an explosive growth of
online video services, the uptake of PMP as a distinctive entertainment
platform is undermined by the flourishing of alternative portable
entertainment devices."
