China Mobile Phone 2009-2013 Forecast and Analysis This IDC study provides a detailed analysis of the 2008 China mobile phone market, including traditional mobile phones and converged devices. This study also covers the following areas: - Overview of China's overall mobile phone market in 2008

"In 2008, the total mobile phone market shipments in China reached 146 million units, up 5.0% year on year (YoY). In the next few years, converged devices will be a growth point in the mobile phone market. Some PC manufacturers are optimistic about the converged device market and are ready for research and development (R&D) and production. Phone features such as GPS navigation, the dual-mode function, the touchscreen technology, and the QWERTY keyboard will undergo a certain degree of development. The advanced features of mobile phone products will increase the competitiveness of vendors in the market. In China, 3G network licenses have been issued to three operators — China Mobile, for TD-SCDMA; China Unicom, for WCDMA; and China Telecom, for CDMA2000," says Eileen Ji, market analyst, Computing Systems, IDC China.

U.S. Consumer Location-Based Services 2009-2013 Forecast and Analysis: LBS Becoming Central to the Mobile Internet and Entertainment Industries This IDC study examines the current and future state of the U.S. consumer location-based services space. Key LBS applications are reviewed and forecast, and essential guidance is offered to IDC clients. Dating from the July 2008 launch of the Apple iPhone Apps Store, location-based services (LBS) innovation has clearly accelerated. Location-aware social networking is now being incorporated into applications like gaming, and location-enabled social networking is now being incorporated into mapping applications like Google's Latitude. Competition among the major emerging ecosystems will further accelerate LBS innovation as well. "Mobile LBS applications such as those from innovative developers such as Smule and industry giants such as Google will be among the key drivers of the evolution of the mobile Internet and mobile applications in the coming decade," notes Scott Ellison, vice president of Mobile and Wireless. "The LBS market will be a key beneficiary of the rapidly emerging competition among the mobile ecosystems including Android, Apple, BlackBerry, BREW, Palm, Symbian, and Windows Mobile, all of which offer LBS as a central core value proposition for application developers," he adds.
