CES 2010: Mobile Wrap-Up

One billion people will own a smartphone by 2013. That statistic was bandied about in the days before CES and the best description of the ecosystem that will make mobile content, entertainment, commerce and marketing/advertising an immense force in the media landscape.

The energy behind Mobile DTV is impressive. The Open Mobile Video Coalition has been busy making alliances and convincing manufacturers to build devices that are compatible with the ATSC signal. Having watched the painfully slow creep towards High Definition for nearly two decades, the speed with which Mobile DTV has been standardized and productized is breath-taking.
