Summary

Multimedia has become the term of the day as wireless service has expanded beyond voice to include a variety of communication, data, and entertainment services. The "phone" has expanded into a multi-use device that changes its utility based on use. The result is a momentous transition in the wireless industry:

Voice services are maturing and suffering under increasing price pressure.
Operators are leveraging data services to sustain revenue growth and offset declining voice ARPU (Average Revenue per User).
Handset manufacturers race to support industry demand for increasingly feature-rich multimedia handsets, while controlling handset cost and power consumption.

"Wanted: Multimedia Handsets-Consumer Desires Meet Operators ARPU Needs" provides research, analysis and forecasts for multimedia handsets and handsets with multimedia specific features such as music phones, phones with touch screens, camera phones, mobile TV handsets, radio phones, and phones with a host of alternative connectivity options. The report begins by looking at the wireless industry trends that are driving the need for feature rich handsets. It then looks at basic multimedia handsets and their growth. It turns its attention to feature rich multimedia handsets, including the technology driving them, unit forecasts and revenue outlook. Finally, it examines and forecasts handsets with specific multimedia features
