According to ABI Research, netbooks will be the UMD segment that will be surrendering volume to tablets over the next few years. “Netbook value will shift from highly competitive computing and mobile broadband markets, including the U.S., to countries where low computing and home broadband penetration offers the greatest potential for mobile computing,” the firm said. ABI noted that no UMD segment type has ever sustained a lead for longer than 36 months in any part of the world. The firm considers ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs), mobile Internet devices (MIDs), netbooks, and media tablets as contenders in this market.
