4 User device selection

This section describes actual selection of museum- and user owned guiding devices to be used

for SM demonstrator. The museum owned device will be used in real service at IMSS and

HM. The user owned device shall be selected as a typical (high end) smartphone presenting

the performance and feature of market leading devices.

4.1 Market watch of suitable user multimedia devices

In order to select the most suitable device (and operating system) for the SMARTMUSEUM,

an analysis was made based on some of the above questions that are considered to be more

relevant to the project and feasible within the task T1.4 scope.

During 2008, smartphones will strengthen their position on the market by drawing huge

attention as a result of intensifying competition among the players, who are trying to secure a

more attractive handset line-up. The smartphone market is still growing very healthily, as

expected, 72% year on year. It is expected to be near the 200 million smartphones sold in

2008 mark in 11 months time. In 2008, smartphones will occupy 22% of the entire mobile

device market, helping increase web-based services on the mobile network. The market for

smartphones will grow from around 10% of the total handset market in 2007 to 31% of the

market in 2013.

Of the annual figures, Nokia shipped over 60 million of the 118 million total, with just over

half the market, with RIM in second place on 12 million, with noone else (including HTC,

Motorola and Sony Ericsson) even getting close. The market share of RIM, Apple are

increasing and Nokia's own slowly decreasing

. Nokia's market share has held pretty steady

too, showing that S60 and Symbian OS are still working out very well for them.

The smartphones are taking over the functions of (high end) multimedia PDAs. For example,

coming SonyEricsson Experia has ARM11 CPU running with 520MHz and HP iPAQ914 has

PXA320 CPU running the same speed. Both devices employ Windows Mobile OS. However,

to have broader field of potential SMARTMUSEUM solution users, less powerful (user

owned) smartphone devices should be supported as well.
