The
information technology (IT) industry has always been
interested in low-cost computing devices. Every few years,
the media and manufacturers alike have brought the topic to
the public’s attention but never before with the zeal seen
in the previous two years.
This presentation reviews and analyzes the evolving
landscape of low-cost computing devices including those introduced or in
existence between January 2004 and August 2008. Based on a
report examining 93 devices, Vital Wave Consulting reviews
global trends in this nascent sub-industry, the evolution of
low-cost device segmentation strategies, and the roles of
major manufacturers, semi-conductor and software companies. In this session you will
learn about:
Processor dominance in various
segments and form factors
Availability of Windows and/or Linux
on low-cost devices
Device designs and the focus on
emerging versus developed markets
Detailed research and analysis on
over 93 low-cost computing devices
Types of companies bringing low-cost
devices to market and the leading companies in the
industry
This
presentation will provide professionals from across sectors
and industries with a baseline for understanding the
evolving low-cost computing device segment.
