According to In-Stat Ultra Mobile Device Market Will Be Defined by Multiple Forms.SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The ultra mobile device market, initially defined by the ultra mobile PC, is evolving to become a family of devices that will compose the "ultra mobile device (UMD (Universal Media Disc) The optical disc used in Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP).

See PlayStation. ) paradigm," reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). One ultra mobile device will not be able to meet all of the different UMD usages/applications, the high-tech market research firm says. Three key features differentiate UMDs from products like PDAs and smart phones.
