Sales of Multifunctional Smartphones Spur Decline in Demand for Portable Media Players, According to a New Trend Report Published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 24, 2014 -- Follow us on LinkedIn. - A Portable Media Player (PMP) is a digital media player that uses either a flash memory, microdrive or a hard drive for storing and playing various types of digital media files, such as music files, video clips, images and e-books. PMPs, generally known as MP4 players, include a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen. Convergence of mobile phones and consumer electronics has marked the decline in demand for portable media players, as consumers now increasingly prefer to listen to music stored in the cloud on their smartphones. Spiraling sales of mobile Internet devices (MIDs) is therefore expected to continue to exert pressure on the market for PMP.
