World Mobile Market

World mobile market continues to enjoy strong growth. Total number of mobile subscribers across the world reached 2.130Bn towards the end of the year 2005. However, this figure is expected to grow further and cross the mark of 4Bn by the end of the year 2011. Thriving mobile market for handheld GPS navigation solutions in the European countries provided a remarkable boost to vendors during the past couple of years. However, this has moved speedily to demand for dedicated 'transferable' devices & the vendors not playing in this field are missing out.

Operating margins are put under pressure due to the growing competition in this sector. Rapidly maturing mobile market conditions will pose several challenges before the operators and vendors in the years to come.

Fortunately, handsets aren't the only devices that can be connected to mobile networks. Now, different types of machines & notebook computers can also receive mobile communication capabilities. Current developments will take the industry in a radically new direction, with three-quarters of a billion new devices to connect.

There will be a lot of challenges and opportunities for both device vendors as well as service providers across different categories in the times to come.

To conclude, increased GPS integration in mobile phones & tighter communication between enterprise databases & navigation systems, such as contacts, CRM and calendaring are just a few of the instances of areas being explored by smart mobile device vendors.
