Emerging Appliance Categories and Their Functionalities PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 91-slide Computer Industry Analysis Training PowerPoint presentation, outlines the emerging categories of new appliances, emphasizing 3 primary functionalities: entertainment, information, and communication. Each category is defined by its core function, the services it offers, and examples of existing or potential products.

Entertainment appliances focus on enhancing user experience through broadband access to audio and video streams. They allow for local customization and programmability, which is crucial for meeting diverse consumer preferences. Services listed include video on demand and personalized TV options, with examples like Replay/TiVo and Internet Gaming Stations illustrating the practical applications of this technology.

Information appliances are designed to facilitate the downloading of news and relevant information. They emphasize local caching, filtering, and access, which are essential for users seeking timely updates. The services provided include news, weather, and e-commerce, with products such as WebPad and E-book serving as examples of how these functionalities can be realized in the market.

Communication appliances aim to streamline voice, video, and email communication through home gateways. This category highlights the growing demand for integrated communication solutions. Services like internet telephony and video conferencing are becoming increasingly vital, with examples such as Palm 7 and various e-mail appliances showcasing the potential for innovation in this space.

Overall, the slide effectively categorizes the evolving landscape of appliances, illustrating how they cluster around these functionalities. This framework can guide strategic decisions for stakeholders looking to invest in or develop products within these domains. Understanding these clusters is critical for aligning product offerings with consumer needs and market trends.
