Review Enterprise Applications, Q3'04 Forward Spending Indicators / IDC Research:

IDC's quarterly ePanel data confirms Q2'04 data suggesting that ERP application upgrade spending is not a major priority.

Review New Zealand Fixed-Line Telecommunications 2004 Market Analysis / IDC Research:

The New Zealand telecommunications market is in the process of a fundamental transformation — one that is seeing the waning importance of the traditional voice mainstay of the fixed-line carriers Telecom NZ and TelstraClear. In counterweight to the associated depletion in calling revenue however is the growth of the mobile, Internet, and solutions segments which both operators are harnessing in earnest as they prepare to best position themselves across a long-term adjustment phase spanning ICT convergence. This IDC study analyses key trends, activity, and strategic responses in the evolving telecommunications market including: The competitive, technological, and regulatory developments affecting fixed-line calling revenues for the incumbent operator Telecom NZ and primary entrant TelstraClear Activity and interplay amongst the major players in the fixed-line calling market including tier 2 participants such as CallPlus, Compass Communications, WorldxChange, Ihug, and Zintel Strategic responses to the declining significance of fixed-line telephony including acknowledgement of the role and importance of Next Generation fixed-line and mobile networks and associated value-added services and the increasing emphasis on content and entertainment provision "New Zealand is accelerating towards a very different telecommunications environment. We are seeing diversification and the de-emphasis of traditional fixed-line telephony as mechanisms changing the business profiles of industry participants in their drive towards continual relevancy and growth. When powerful phone companies say they are no longer phone companies, you know the IT service providers have reason to be anxious," states Christopher Loh, senior analyst, Telecommunications, IDC New Zealand.

Review U.S. Installed Base of Home Automation and Management Systems and Nodes 2004-2008 Forecast and Analysis / IDC Research:

This IDC study forecasts the size of the U. S. home automation and management market in the context of an IP-based home network. It outlines the drivers and inhibitors of the market, provides the foundation for the market, and points out areas of growth and opportunity. Home networks will provide a strong platform on which to build home automation and management technologies, and consumers have already expressed an interest in using home networks for functions such as security and device management. Home automation has long epitomized an unfulfilled promise, but IDC believes that several elements are coming together to bring home automation and management closer to mainstream adoption. "We're tantalizingly close to reaching that home automation and management promised land, but we still need several elements to fall in place, and most of those elements are not so much the technologies themselves, but the implementation of them, marketing, and channels," said Jonathan Gaw, research manager for IDC's Consumer Markets: Home Marketing research service.

"The standalone portable MP3 players market in APEJ is expected to face growing competition from MP3-enabled mobile phones. [+]

Review Worldwide Smart Handheld Device 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis: Passing the Torch / IDC Research:

This IDC study is an update to Worldwide Smart Handheld Device 2004–2008 Forecast Update: The Shift Toward Converged Devices (IDC #32618, December 2004). This document delivers 2004 actual shipments and vendor market share comparisons for 2003 and 2004 and updates the long-range forecast through 2009. In the history of the smart handheld devices market, 2004 marked the first time that worldwide shipments of converged mobile devices surpassed those of handheld devices. Despite a slight rise in quarterly shipments in the fourth quarter of the year due to holiday seasonality, the worldwide handheld device market experienced its third straight year of decline, while the converged mobile device market surged past its previous shipment level in 2003. The year 2004 also marked the first time since 1999 that annual device shipment levels slipped below 10 million units. The decline of the handheld device market further underscores the increasing difficulty and search for relevance that handheld device vendors are facing in today's marketplace. With top vendors Sony and Toshiba leaving the market and competition from converged mobile device vendors continuing to increase, the remaining handheld device manufacturers face significant pressure to evolve their devices into new market segments. "Although the potential for a return to growth in the handheld device market remains, stiff competition from converged mobile devices and increasingly saturated markets have significantly increased the barriers to growth for handheld device vendors. As a result, converged mobile devices grew to comprise the majority share of shipments in the smart handheld devices market during 2004. " — David Linsalata, research analyst, Mobile Devices.

Review Worldwide Mobile Phone 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis / IDC Research:

This IDC study presents our updated forecast for mobile phone shipments, including converged mobile devices and camera phones. Presenting updated splits by air interface, replacement rate, platform, technology, and region, this study provides actual 2004 data and the impact of this demand on IDC's forecast for mobile phone shipments through 2009. "Strong demand from emerging markets, the attraction of color displays and camera-enabled mobile phones, and delays in 3G network availability made 2004 a banner year for 2. 5G mobile phone shipments. Surpassing 692 million units shipped in 2004, the underlying demand foundation of the mobile phone market is sound, but limited catalysts for 3G adoption will create complex market conditions over the next few years. The market will continue to expand through 2009, however, offering a significant opportunity for hardware, software, and service vendors alike. " — Alex Slawsby, senior analyst, Mobile Devices.
