They include portable media players (PMPs), handheld games, personal navigation devices (PNDs) and dedicated social-networking devices.

They’ll use wideband 4G networks to stream or download movies and other video from a user’s library in the clouds, he explained. In the forecasts, In-Stat did not include devices, such as select e-readers and PNDs, whose price includes a wireless subscription.” |
