players in Germany rises by 44 percent
Heise
Online - Hannover,Germany
In 2005, the number of MP3 players sold in Germany is to rise by 44
percent to 4.6 million units according to industry association Bitkom. The lobby
group for the IT sector, telecommunications, new media believes these players
are "ideal interfaces between the digital world of computers and home
entertainment electronics.” Lower prices, better design, and expanded features
are to give the market for mobile entertainment devices a "boost.”
Bitkom expects sales of MP3 players to increase by 45 percent to 434 million
euros in Germany. Last year, manufacturers posted just under 300 million euros
in sales, with 3.2 million units sold in Germany. The industry association gets
its statistics from a study of the development of digital home entertainment
electronics conducted by the European Information Technology Observatory (EITO).
