Now is the time for handset makers and handset component makers to step up to the plate so that cellular carriers can get the data services revenue that they crave. Handset component makers have been scrambling to create the low-cost but feature-rich components that handset makers need.

This report is intended to give those that make handsets or their components a better view of the total handset component market and what's ahead in the next five years. Five-year forecasts include handset chipset numbers by technology (CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 1X EV-DO, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, PDC, PHS, and WCDMA), handset semiconductor section ASPs by technology and function (RF/IF, Analog/Digital Baseband, flash, SRAM, codec/audio, power management and discretes), and semiconductor revenue by technology and function. The report also includes five-year forecasts for handset "add-on" components (cameras, Bluetooth, MPEG-4/App Processor, GPS, and Wi-Fi) including total units and total component revenue. In addition, this report includes news announcements from the last year, announcing new components or indicating handset component trends.
