According to a recent report on CNN, 'total revenue from U.S. music sales and licensing plunged' between the years 1999 and 2009. They said that 'at the end of last year, the music business was worth half of what it was ten years ago and the decline doesn't look like it will be slowing anytime soon'.Many believe that the main reason for this decline is the increased popularity of digital music.

Commercial vehicle telematics (CVT) as envisioned today is certainly not a matter of doubt. It is not a question of if, but when, and exactly what kind of functions gain prominence.

What is generally not understood, or perhaps overlooked, is the fact that telematics technologies will add to the crucial functionality imperative for various emerging automotive system capabilities.

Biochips - A Global Update of Market Trends & Opportunities

Significant dimensions of the vast parallel studies afforded by biochips have created a holistic means of viewing biological systems. In addition to the combination of various sciences, space, time and expense are all key factors in the future development of biochips. Modern day chips can contain a human genome comprising of 30,000 to 100,000 genes.The biochip industry is in the early stages of growth and hence, not only promises potential but also is susceptible to vagaries of market forces. Competition, patent disputes, knowledge constraints (in terms of skilled employees, technical know-how) and financial strength might be a few impediments for firms engaged in this industry. A promising market arises from three factors – an aging population, third party reimbursement and a growing number of individuals suffering from common chronic diseases. Biochips would certainly evolve in terms of physical, technical characteristics, and with focus on miniaturization of assays, they would turn smaller and more powerful with each generation. The industry is characterized by both intense rivalry and equally well-developed web of alliances.These and other market data and trends are presented in “Biochips: A Global Update of Market Trends & Opportunities” by BizAcumen, Inc.

Mobile Music Report - Analysis, Forecasts and Markets 2009

Music on the mobile platform has extended past the confines of the ringtone and has developed on the mobile handset and the mobile web. Mobile music has become a business in its own right with players both on and off the mobile platform. The growing reach of mobile handsets and the mobile web has driven the reach of mobile music and, given the size of the mobile audience, this remains a valuable market to invest in content. As music content moved from the physical to the digital platform, the mobile phone and mobile web are ideally placed to distribute and develop mobile music content, and tailor content directly to the consumer demand. But will the traditionally big players of music be the major players of mobile music? Can large record companies maintain their position in a digitally mobile market? Can the mobile handset continue to compete against stand alone digital music devices? Creating revenue from mobile music has also evolved, as the content and the method of access has become more sophisticated over time. Early subscription methods of high payments posed a low user experience which threatened to push all but the most dedicated niche markets away from the content. Mobile music has responded to the requirements of consumers in both the music providers and the mobile web. Charges on the mobile web have decreased and this has opened up the space for mobile music and increased the incentive for mobile subscribers to explore this content.The continuing success of convergence on the mobile handset has driven music players onto the mobile handset, and the link between the mobile handset and the mobile web is an important factor in mobile music. An increasing number of mobile handset vendors are entering the mobile music market with their own mobile music services, further driving handsets with mobile music playing capabilities. As the market becomes increasingly crowded competitors will need to establish strong competitive differentiation, and music services will have to offer the consumer innovative and unique selling points in order to gain market traction and retain consumers.Players across the industry will need to monitor and analyse mobile music and competitors in the mobile market. The mobile market is continuously evolving, but mobile music remains a constant factor in the market. Mobile music is not without its problems and pitfalls, but the channel remains a valuable asset for competitors in the mobile market. Mobile music will remain an influential media on the mobile platform for the foreseeable future and recent entries into the market place demonstrate that the mobile music market remains open and competitive. This is a market in which hardware and software will compete and the link between the handset and the mobile web will further drive the use of mobile music, and be mutually beneficial in the market.

he Mobile Web Browser Market 2009-2014: Challenges and opportunities in the Web 2.0, iPhone and Google Era

Within a short timeframe, the iPhone series of devices has helped fuel mobile web adoption in North America and Europe unlike any device before. In the seven years prior to the launch, the paucity of user-friendly mobile web-focused devices proved a major obstacle to optimal growth in users and traffic.Thanks to innovative multi-touch gesture user interfaces, faster processing and large screens, users are now more aware of the benefits of web access with mobility. The introduction of multi-touch user interfaces been pivotal in finally realising the possibility and benefit of mobile browsing to a wide audience, particularly in developed markets. Supported by increasing bandwidth in mobile networks, improved user experience has encouraged uptake, particularly as an extension of any given user's online desktop experience, evidenced by the widespread adoption of mobile versions of leading social networking sites. This is illustrated by Apple through the iPhone, whose users in the UK are five times more likely to browse the web than owners of other mobile phones.The move triggered a wave of touch interface releases with large screens from rival device manufacturers. It is within this context that the development of mobile web browser technologies forms a crucial component, providing the platform which will help generate new revenue streams from advertising and content/application downloads, on top of subscriptions.Given its evolutionary path in relation to advances in device and UI, the browser is increasingly assuming the ability to substitute many applications for a single platform. The browser can form a single stop for documents, audio and video, games, and navigational services with APIs leveraging each device's unique capabilities including GPS, accelerometers, cameras and so on.Companies such as Google, Apple and Palm are harbouring ambitions to port the next stage in the internet roadmap, HTML 5, onto the mobile platform, possibly leading to video played within the mobile browser without the need for additional rich internet application (RIA) plugins such as Flash and Silverlight. The RIA framework developers themselves, such as Adobe and Microsoft, are working towards full desktop versions onto mobile handsets for 2010.Based on analysis of the position of key participants across the value chain, including operators, media agencies, software application providers, access providers, marketing specialists and trade association representatives, this 125+ page report analyses the market drivers and barriers affecting mobile web browsers and applications. It discusses the main market trends and charts the market evolution in the US, Europe and the Asia Pacific including the Middle East.Reading this exclusive management report will tell you the following:• Who are the main players in mobile browser platforms and what are they doing?• What different variants of platform are available on devices and expected to appear in the future?• Why is the mobile web so important to mobile?• How successful will solutions be?• How can operators and other companies in the value chain best position themselves?Find out the answers to these and many other questions by buying this vital industry insight.Who needs to read this report?Directors, VP and Senior managers in:• Mobile/ Cellular carriers and operators• Digital and Mobile Advertising agencies• Mobile Search companies• Handset manufacturers• Mobile content providers• Brands looking to tap into the mobile audience
