Welcome to the Portable Multimedia Blog

Hi there

Welcome. The idea behind the Portable Multimedia Blog is that small multimedia devices will eventually overtake the laptop computer as the dominant computing platform, which is a fundamental shift in the industry.
This requires key changes in the technology and development, from battery life, chipsets, displays and applications,as well as the high speed, always on, always available, network connections.
This means bringing together IP vendors, chipset designers, equipment makers, screen providers, battery companies, middleware, operating system, application software and network operators. No other publication does this, as they are each focussed on a particular area.
This is is not a gadget site. With the Portable Multimedia Blog, the factors influencing the chipset design are available to the network operator to plan the next generation of services, while the operator requirements are clear to the operating system and chipset supplier.
Welcome.
Nick Flaherty
