The next year promises to make content more mobile. While consumer electronics vendors will push to connect the PC and TV, with limited returns, mobilizing content will take center stage. As digital content becomes more flexible, IDC expects mobile entertainment and navigation devices to become smarter and more connected. Meanwhile, the migration of high-definition content to the TV and even the PC will continue to be a focal point for many vendors.

In this telebriefing, IDC's Consumer Markets research team will discuss the top 10 issues to watch in the hotly contested consumer space in 2008 and beyond. Some topics that will be addressed in this telebriefing include:

• Adoption of the mobile Internet and the convergence of CE and mobile players
• Rising stakes in the Pay TV market and the role of HD carriage
• Competition in the games market heats up -- should vendors specialize or consolidate?
• How broadband's speed dynamics will drive competition
• Navigation and LBS drive increased function across CE, mobile, and automotive platforms
• User-generated content -- what's new for 2008?

Session Speakers:

• Danielle Levitas Vice President, Consumer, Broadband & New Media
• Analysts from IDC's Consumer, Broadband & New Media Markets Group
