GPS phones to find big market share
GPS is about to hit mobile phones in a big way, especially in Europe. Canalys, UK, a research company, found that 12 million GPS devices changed hands from supplier to consumer in the first three quarters of 2006. Canalys expects that number to hit 28 million this year. Consumers in Japan and the US see GPS more so in car units, some of which can be detached and become portable. 2007 is expected to be thefi rst of a series of years in which GPSenabled mobiles fl ood the market. Europe and Oceania, for instance, have GSM networks that wouldn’t be able to process the CDMA-standard devices that are common in the U.S. and Japan. One fi nal assist goes to AGPS, which is assisted-GPS and is a technology fresh off the shelf that helps eliminate lag times that are so common with satellitesearching. As all of these enhancements and adjustments are incorporated and awareness of utility grows, the widespread use of GPS-enabled mobiles will skyrocket, analysts say, adding that that skyrocketing will start in 2007.
