In spite of
the tendency of the general media to focus on emerging players
from the PC and mobile sectors, our analysis suggests that

placed to dominate the emerging digital connected consumer
market.

The report, “Connected Home Leaderboard: A Strategic Assessment
of Leading CE, PC and Mobile Companies,” claims the strategies
of leading PC vendors HP and Dell exhibit significant
weaknesses, such as limited proprietary technology ownership and
inability to penetrate emerging device segments.
“In spite of the tendency of the general media to focus on
emerging players from the PC and mobile sectors, our analysis
suggests that traditional consumer electronics companies are
currently best placed to dominate the emerging digital connected
consumer market,” comments Peter King, the report’s author. “In
our view, with their strengths in both Consumer Electronics and
mobile markets, Sony and Samsung are best positioned to address
emerging connected device segments.”
