What is it exactly that makes people feel that one SmartPhone is better than another? It seems easy to judge an old product from years past as not as good as today's product, but it's not just 'speeds and feeds' or just the industrial design. Rather, what makes a SmartPhone great is a combination of the materials used, the industrial design that integrates those materials, the user interface and the services provided. How 'clever' and how 'intuitive' a system is also plays an important role. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170577430 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170577430 Market Engineering Research Service Can Dongles and Datacards Finally Unlock the Potential of 3G in Asia Pacific?

In terms of mobile market evolution, Latin America has always been the younger brother of far more mature markets such as Europe, US and South East Asia. For many years the region showed low levels of adoption and ARPU. It was not until 2007 and 2008 that there was a rapid growth of mobile adoption and some countries of the region, such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela, but also most of the Caribbean started to show levels of penetration similar to those of Western Europe and South East Asia. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=168353714 Thu, 21 May 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=168353714 Decision Support Database Decision Support Database - Global Mobile Trackers http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-service-segment.pag?Src=RSS&segid=DD21-00-05-00-00 Sat, 16 May 2009 00:40:49 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-service-segment.pag?Src=RSS&segid=DD21-00-05-00-00 Market Insight New Zealand enters the high speed broadband race. Will the new network be enough to meet NZ s long term needs? The New Zealand government's national fibre network proposal will provide broadband access with speeds of access 100Mb/s for 75% of New Zealanders, within a ten year timeframe, at a cost of at least NZ$3 billion. Historically, New Zealand has lagged the vast majority of the developed world in terms of broadband speeds, cost and broadband access coverage. Over the past two years, New Zealand has been playing catch up in this respect, and this proposal, if successfully implemented, will go a long way to bridging this gap a great deal further, and in fact would propel New Zealand to become one of the leading broadband nations in our region. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=167904510 Sat, 16 May 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=167904510 Technical Insights Alert Mobile and Wireless Communciation Technology Alert.
