Convergence of Mobile Office Market Intensifies Competition

Filed in archive Mobile Technologies by leo on May 24, 2007

In the latest findings of NY-based technology-industry analyst company, The 451 Group, the mobile office market will converge, spur intense competition, and will leave a few survivors in the next 12-24 months. The biggest winners predicted to emerge in this bloody encounter include RIM, Microsoft, or IBM.

While several vendors peg the global market for mobile users at roughly 600 million, The 451 Group's estimate of the market for enterprise users is just one-tenth of that, or 60 million. Of that total, 451 analysts believe the overall upper market range for mobile email utilizing smartphones and other converged devices (e.g., BlackBerry, Treo, Motorola Q, etc.) is closer to 20 million premium-level users.

The 451 Group believes that consumers are not interested in paying for anything more robust, and in fact younger generations of users are likely to bypass email altogether in favor of text messaging.
