SUMMARY
This study quantifies in detail the smart handheld devices (SHD) markets in
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the rest of the Gulf states
(RoGS). It also analyzes market trends and provides future outlooks. It
contains IDC's review and forecast of SHD markets for 2003-2008. This report
discusses the market for smart handheld devices and converged mobile devices
comprising the following form factors:
- Handheld devices (pen-based handhelds and keypad-based handhelds)
- Converged mobile devices
- Vertical application devices (vertical pen-based handhelds, vertical keypad-based handhelds, and vertical pen-based tablets)
The report includes quantitative analysis of the market and presents the
following data, broken down by handheld form factor:
- Actual unit shipments and value of shipments (US$M for 2003 and H1 2004)
- Forecast unit shipments and value of shipments for 2004 to 2008
The data and trend information in this study was compiled through in-depth
interviews with marketing and product management executives of SHD vendors and
their channel partners.
"The Gulf region SHD market boomed again in 2003. Still far from saturation,
the SHD market offers vendors solid growth opportunities. Nevertheless, vendors
must bear in mind that both consumer and enterprise end users now have a
greater understanding of SHD technology, and will be less likely to be excited
by new features, applications, or services than they were in previous years.
End users will be looking for real added value from new devices." - Jan Siroky,
Program Manager, IDC CEMA Office Automation Group.
