Tech attitudes by mobile PC brand  

Mobile PC Brand Profile Report

Mobile PC users continue to lead the adoption of new technology, and have reached the half-way mark of recently acquired PCs. Instead of going fully mainstream, though, MetaFacts research reveals very different patterns between the most-mobile and deskbound users with mobile PCs: with very different activities, attitudes, age groups, and brand preferences. This study provides the real profile of the mobile PC market, with a deep dive below the surface of mobile technology. It spells out who mobile PC users really are, where they go, what they do, and what they’re likely to do or not do with the advent of netbooks and web-capable devices such as iPhones and PDAs. Critical for PC makers, PDA makers, handset manufacturers, landline and wireless carriers, and software developers, this solid fact-based report provides a comprehensive status of the market.

Shopping list for Circuit City customers (Consumer Electronics Outlets Profile Report) Analog TV Converter Profile Report

To the super-techno, analog TVs may seem a thing of the past, yet interest is high for converters that allow older TVs to still receive TV broadcasts. As the end of Analog TV broadcasts in the U.S. draws near, purchases and demands aren't coming from the market segments touted as vital. Surprisingly, demand is highest among households already with cable and satellite pay TV services. This report reveals the unique activities of free viewers, Pay TV subscribers, and non-viewers, detailing their demographics, consumer electronics, shopping and buying behavior, key retail and online outlets, technology attitudes, and much more. It reveals that those currently with and planning to buy Analog TV Converters are not all technophobes, nor seniors.

bulletWhat's the reality of Windows Vista adoption? Is Apple making strong inroads into the Windows indecisive? What have been the adoption rates within each market segment?
bulletIs it true that digital camera owners aren't the same profile as PC owners? Has the most active buying segment for these reached saturation? What do digital camera users do with their images? How many are using special photo printers? How many have more than one printer?
bullet Where are the broadband households and digital homes, and where are the underserved, forgotten Americans?
bulletIs convergence something in demand by customers, or is it something that is being pushed by tech companies ahead of what user's need?
bulletIs it true there is more than a two-way "digital divide", but now it's four-way: with haves, can't-gets, don't-gets and don't-wants?
bulletIs the PC the center of the Technology User's universe - or not? Who are these web and information appliance users that find a way to connect without using a PC?
bulletHow many technology products do people have? Are the multiple-product users only a small, hearty and highly-visible segment, or is there a growing majority that has it all?
