Music has really give boost to its acessories Market Research specialist GfK has said that in sales for June 2008, £1m of Mobile speakers have been sold - compared with just £146,000 in May 2007! In a related stat, handsets with MP3 players and/or FM Radios now account for 65% of the market, which has increased from 44% last year.
This research dovetails in nicely with the launch of Nokia’s “Comes with Music” and Vodafone’s unlimited music service, powered by Omnifone - clearly, if you are going to download the tracks you are going to play them - and that’s either going to be via headphones, or speakers (it’s just a shame that a percentage of the music-dowloading populous choose to blare tracks out of their mobile device internal speaker, typically whilst walking along!)
Obviously device feature-sets have been growing too, with more storage possible on-device (either internally, or on memory card), higher-spec “player” apps, and in some cases, specialised audio circuitry.
