Jupiter Research Reports That the Majority of U.S. Consumers Are Not Interested in Smartphones
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 22, 2003--Jupiter Research, a division of Jupitermedia Corporation (Nasdaq: JUPM), found that when choosing a cell phone, U.S. consumers prioritize small size and voice-related functionality over more advanced features such as integrated digital cameras, games, PDAs or music players. Given the choice of a free basic cell phone or paying for a cell phone with a built-in PDA, digital camera or MP3 player (also known as a smartphone) - a choice offered by nearly all U.S. carriers - most U.S. consumers were not willing to pay as little as $49.
These findings were released in Jupiter Research's new report, "Next Generation Handsets: How To Succeed In Wireless Without Really Converging." To make sense of the marketplace, Jupiter Research created a Handset Taxonomy, identifying key attributes that define each device category. "We explored the reasons vendors and carriers are aggressively creating and subsidizing converged devices such as cell phones with built-in cameras, music or computing capabilities. But those reasons have to be measured against actual consumer demand," said Jupiter Research Analyst Avi Greengart.
Jupiter Research conducted an independent survey to assess U.S. consumer demand for advanced cell phone features and to determine their willingness to pay for added functionality at different price points. The new report analyzes the factors that will enable or prevent a dominant mobile platform from emerging and provides actionable advice for handset manufacturers, cellular carriers and application developers. Separate action plans are provided for media, advertisers and retailers dealing with the changing landscape.
"Basic cell phones with voice and text messaging capability will continue to make up the majority of sales, followed by cell phones that can run small Java or BREW applications without overly increasing cell phone size or price," Greengart said. "But cell phones with cameras, MP3 players and/or PDAs will not be widely adopted in the U.S. over the next 12 months," Greengart added. Because interest in converged devices is low, Jupiter Research advises that carriers and handset vendors should create single purpose cell phones, PDAs and MP3 players, and allow them to function as a single unit using Bluetooth wireless technology.
The complete findings of these reports are immediately available to Jupiter Research clients online. For more information please contact Kieran Kelly at researchsales@jupitermedia.com or call 1-800-481-1212.

Digi Launches Wavespeed/S Wireless Serial Adapter; First O/S Independent Serial to Bluetooth Adapter for Wireless Connectivity in Mission Critical Applications
MINNETONKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 22, 2003--Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII) today announced the launch of its new Wavespeed(TM)/S Wireless Serial Adapter, which utilizes Bluetooth (TM) technology to connect peripheral devices simply and wirelessly.
The first device of its kind suitable for mission-critical applications, Wavespeed/S is ideal for retail/POS, catering and hospitality, industrial automation, health care and mobile environments. It offers instant EIA-232 serial cable replacement with a wireless alternative that increases user mobility.
Wavespeed/S enables wireless serial data transfer between peripheral devices and a host. For example, two Wavespeed/S adapters can be paired together to create a wireless link between a PC and a bar-code scanner, receipt printer, scale or other serial device. Alternatively, a single unit can be used in server mode to communicate with a Bluetooth-enabled serial device such as a PDA, tablet PC or WAN radio.
Wavespeed/S offers secure and reliable wireless communication via features like encryption, authentication and an adjustable transmit range. The distance between peripheral device and host can be up to 328 feet (100 meters) for the Class 1 radio, or 32 feet (10 meters) with the Class 2 radio.
An O/S independent connectivity solution, Wavespeed/S can connect to any serial port with no changes in the host PC or application software. Its Windows-based configuration tool also makes it very easy to set up.
"We developed the Wavespeed/S as an easy-to-use wireless alternative to conventional cabled serial connections," stated Stephen Popovich, chief operating officer and corporate vice president of Inside Out Networks, the subsidiary of Digi that manufactures the product. "As well as allowing the convenience of mobile use of serial peripheral devices, eliminating cables offers substantial time and money savings in a wide range of applications."
"Wavespeed/S is an excellent example of Inside Out Networks' ability to design easy-to-use connectivity solutions that deliver real value for the end user," said Joseph Dunsmore, president and chief executive officer of Digi International.
Wavespeed/S customer, Chip Smith, president, Advantage Industrial Automation commented: "Digi's new Wavespeed/S is an outstanding device that increases our ability to provide value-added solutions for our customers. This innovative product is certainly consistent with Digi's reputation as the leading provider of Connectware."

Intel and Linksys to Improve the Wireless Broadband Experience for Home and Small Office Users
SANTA CLARA and IRVINE, Calif., July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Intel Corporation
and Linksys(R), a division of Cisco Systems, Inc., today established a
technology and marketing program to improve the experience of setting up and
operating wireless networks in homes and small offices using Linksys wireless
routers and access points and Intel(R) Centrino(TM) mobile technology.
The program includes joint engineering and co-marketing activities.
Initially, Intel is conducting engineering testing or "verification" of Intel
Centrino mobile technology with Linksys wireless access points and routers
that are currently available. This process tests compatibility between these
devices, further enhancing the end user's Intel Centrino mobile technology
wireless experience. The verified Linksys products will be identified with a
label reading "Verified with Intel Centrino Mobile Technology" on the
packaging to help inform consumers that the Intel and Linksys products have
been tested to work together. The verification effort is under way, and
verified Linksys products will be available starting this month at retail
locations in the United States, Canada and other countries.
Intel and Linksys have also committed to work on new ways to maximize
wireless performance and enhance wireless connectivity as part of the program.
This includes plans to develop technology that will allow notebook PCs based
on Intel Centrino mobile technology to detect the presence of Linksys wireless
products and configure them with minimal effort by the end user. Today,
notebook PCs are manually configured to interact with a wireless network.
Work is under way to enable Intel and Linksys products with the advanced
configuration technology in 2004.
"The rapid adoption of Intel Centrino mobile technology shows that mobile
users support Intel's vision of mobile computing and faster, simpler access to
the Internet," said Paul Otellini, Intel president and chief operating
officer. "Intel Centrino mobile technology and Linksys wireless products are
a powerful combination in the effort to broaden the use of wireless
broadband."
"I truly believe that partnerships are one of the keys to the future
success of the networking industry -- benefiting not just partner companies,
but the end customer with quicker access to technologies, greater innovation
and ease of use," said John Chambers, Cisco president and chief executive
officer. "The combination of Intel, Linksys and Cisco technologies helps to
fuel wireless adoption in the home and enterprise markets, which are major
areas of growth for the industry."
Representing Intel's best technology for mobile PCs, Intel Centrino mobile
technology includes a new mobile processor, related chipsets and integrated
802.11 wireless capabilities that have been optimized, tested and validated to
work together. Intel has already verified Intel Centrino mobile technology
interoperability with service providers whose networks support thousands of
public wireless LAN "hot spots" worldwide. Linksys wireless access points and
routers deliver seamless, trouble-free wireless broadband connectivity in home
or small business environments using wireless LAN (802.11 a, b and g)
technology.
Since January, Linksys and Intel have announced several joint development
projects on wireless products using Intel's IXP4xxx family of network
processors featuring Intel(R) XScale(TM) architecture. Linksys and Intel have
committed their relationship to broaden innovative wireless offerings, while
improving the user experience for home and small office users.
