Android based Netbooks to Emerge in 2009
Opinion by Laurent Lachal, ovum Open Source Research Director
Upwards view: Linux is losing ground
The upwards view of netbooks starts with netbooks and looks up to laptops. It
leads to two conclusions. First, the laptop market is becoming increasingly
complex, with market segments catered for by a growing variety of low-cost
netbooks and laptops. Second, after a strong start, Linux netbooks have now been
overtaken by Windows netbooks and Linux is lagging increasingly behind in terms
of sales - although Linux's performance in the netbook segment is still

Nokia kick-starts GPS market in Europe
Opinion piece by Tony Cripps and Michele Mackenzie, principal analysts
According to a new ovum forecast, the market for GPS-enabled mobile devices
will grow rapidly, from an estimated 163.9 million shipments in 2007 to almost
572 million in 2012. In the early years this growth has been driven by the CDMA
players, namely Qualcomm, serving large CDMA markets such as the US, where the
E911 mandate stipulates the use of location-based technologies in handsets, and
markets such as Korea and Japan where demand for location-enabled services is
higher than in other regions.
