 This is going to be the year of customization and personalization. There are some very clear trends that one can see in the sector. The hottest trends will be in wireless devices at the top of the list: lifestyle electronics, Internet-based multimedia services, connected homes, applications (such as money transfer as well as browsing, health monitoring, payments, advertising, instant messaging and music on mobile phones), tablets and devices for streaming content. Another fast emerging trend is in the television sector. Internet TVs, smart TVs (TV beyond HD) that behave like computers are proving to be a big hit.
And again, there is a great possibility of markets being flooded with ultrabooks and tablet computers in 2012, along with a plethora of phone launches, with quadcore and fourth-generation phones becoming the equivalent of computers. And of course, accessories galore...
In terms of looks, simple and ultra-sleek gadgets will be there, with the technology hidden from the user.
And in terms of design, manufacturers will move to customization of devices and services, even if people have similar models. |
