This study includes vendor revenue shares for applications processors and media coprocessors in mobile phones, converged mobile devices, and smart handheld devices (PDAs). As the percentage of mobile device shipments with 2.5G and 3G capabilities has grown, the demand for multimedia capabilities and other feature-rich applications has grown also. So, understandably, of the major semiconductor components in mobile devices, the ones that have shown the highest revenue growth over the past two years are applications processors and media coprocessors. "These markets will continue to be dynamic and will pose increasing challenges for those vendors looking to preserve or improve their market share." - Flint Pulskamp, analyst, Wireless Semiconductors
