Interest in Connected Devices Soars Worldwide
From smartphones to tablets, and now Smart TVs- we at KIT digital understand and cater to the needs of users by adding video to any device that lets us. The increasing demand itself is fascinating – in the case of Samsung Apps alone, average daily downloads hit 50,000 worldwide, and will likely hit 20 million downloads by the end of January, 2012.
According to BroadCom, not only are smartphone sales growing faster than standard mobile phones, but there are 4 billion smartphones currently in use. Video represents 50% of all mobile traffic, and is expected to quickly shoot to 90%. Alan Murray, Executive Editor of The Wall Street Journal Online, claims that the average American watches 5 hours of video a day, which started with cable, then shifted to computers, and is now migrating to mobile devices.
In this age of connectivity, developers, and manufacturers such as PrimeSense are also seeking additional ways to build Natural Interaction into consumer electronic devices to allow “…TV, gaming, cars, GPS, mobile- to adapt to the user instead of making the user adapt to the device… helping break down the barriers of use to allow people to sync and interact with the electronic world around them.”
KIT digital caters to this exponentially growing trend with products such as KIT Cosmos, and KIT Cloud, our two editions of the KIT Video Platform. From a technological standpoint, we are excited to see what is in store for 2012. Our view is that we’re only just beginning.
Does the world-wide demand in connected devices (despite economic times) shock you?
