In-Stat report unchanged: users still tepid on mobile video
5th Sep 2005, 15:04 GMT
With yesterday’s news about Apple propositioning content providers for video on their supposedly forthcoming video iPod, it’s rather timely that In-Stat just released their latest market report (for only $3,500 US, too) which basically says straight up that by their pollings—that don’t differ from last year, incidentally—only one in eight users are interested in buying mobile video content for their on the go devices. Senior analyst David Chamberlain is still optimistic about the prospects of the mobile content industry, but what’s it going to take for them to realize that people don’t want to buy the same content over and over—they want to buy or obtain it once, and then disseminate it to all their devices by their own means? Or that in the future walled-garden products like V CAST are going to marginalized by straight cheap mobile broadband?
