Growth of Cell Phone Storage Cards Could Hurt iPod
Monday, April 24th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
As the average capacity of cell phone storage cards hits 1.6GB by 2010, according to research firm Strategy Analytics, Apple's incredibly popular iPod could feel the squeeze. Gene Koprowski, writing for MacNewsWorld, added that a report from the company showed the sale of cell phones with storage card slots leaped 160% from 2004 to 2005.
"The 2 GB MultiMediaCard (MMC) from Samsung could spark the convergence trend for mobile phones, raising the level of competition Apple's iPod battles in the marketplace," Mr. Koprowski wrote. It can hold nearly 12 hours of video and is fast enough to download three hours of video in under two minutes.
He said that the sale of slotted cell phones is projected to grow 52% annually, on average, with nearly 75% of the phones sold in 2010 including such capability. "Sales of memory cards for cell phones, meanwhile," he wrote, "are expected to grow at a rate of 53 percent over the next five years, reaching almost 1.1 billion cards by 2010."
