New research from The Diffusion Group finds widespread uptake of digital electronic devices among broadband networked households. Broadband Networked Households: Profiling the New Media Home, the latest of TDG's Consumer Snapshots, also finds the broadband networked households are moving from single- to multi-unit penetration in digital consumer electronic categories. For example, 29% of broadband networked households now own three or more DVD players, up from 13% in 2004. "By year-end 2005, there will be approximately 25 million US broadband networked households - a sizeable and influential segment of consumers," says Dale Gilliam, director of primary research at TDG and co-author of the new study. "But describing broadband networked households is no longer simply a matter of describing early technology adopters - it is more about consumer electronic and media purchasing habits than it is new technology adoption. Simply stated, broadband networked households tend to own significantly more media devices than other US households. Of course, these devices are increasingly digital, but this has more to do with price reductions and peer group recommendations than with early adopter tendencies such as novelty or first-adopter status." TDG's latest report, Broadband Networked Households: Profiling the New Media Home, provides a comprehensive overview of consumer electronic ownership among US households that use both a broadband connection and a home network. The study also includes a detailed, room-by-room snapshot of device location within the home for consumer electronic devices including DVD players, PVRs/DVRs, stand-alone home stereos, stereo speakers, TVs, game consoles, desktop PCs, and laptop PCs. The report also includes trending data on the penetration of a variety of consumer electronic devices within the various rooms of the home.

Finally available in the U.S., this superlight minicomputer is to handhelds what the iPod is to MP3 players. Like Apple's iconic music device, it's well designed, full-featured, easy to use, and so cool it's almost annoying. With an incredibly powerful and quick processor as well as rippling G-level wireless Internet connectivity, it's a fully functional PC that eclipses the OQO in terms of performance. It also proves more versatile, thanks to a zooming, rotatable screen, handy Gameboy-like controls, and a bundle of ports that provide unparalleled flexibility. Tokyo trendoids use it to watch anime on subways (we're not kidding), while Hollywood F/X artists make it the middleman between their digital music servers and their home PCs. Plug in its fold-out keyboard or use its finlike stylus to input text. And by all means exploit its high-intensity graphics processor to play games and design digital art. It's a splurge, to be sure, but why wouldn't you expect to pay through the nose for the most powerful and uniquely designed handheld to hit the Western world? |
