Research and Markets, Dublin based institution, predicts that 300 million multimedia enabled mobile phones will ship in 2008, a number that will surpass the number of television sets. A multimedia enabled mobile is defined as one that can play video and audio, that in it of itself is pretty vague considering some handsets can do that, but no one in their right mind would want to use that feature.
Can’t really see this as a surprise, the market for mobiles is much larger than that of televisions, but will a mobile phone ever replace a television? Doubtful, but I do see more and more devices coming out to market with TV out.

As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team.
