Forget movies on the move

p2pnet.net News:- Forget movies on the move, “Europeans care most about music playback

So says a Jupiter Research report, quoted by the BBC.

Only 13% of Europeans want to watch video while out and about but by contrast, almost a third are interested in listening to music on a portable player, says the story, going on:

“The firm said gadget makers should avoid hybrid devices and instead make sure music reproduction was as good as possible.

“The report concluded that the driving force behind the growth of Europe’s portable player market was likely to be music, rather than films or any combination of the two.”

Hands up anyone who thinks we won’t be seeing video-music player combos next year?

    I’m in the 13% I suppose. Who DOESNT want comedy on the go?

    This is why I don’t like to read while moving and video would probably be worst.

    couple hours with an average broadband connection isn’t that long to wait :)
