VNUnet's Robert Jaques today looks at an ON World study which suggests that Apple could easily create what it calls a "killer converged entertainment device" by adding Wi-Fi functionality to the iPod.
Consumer devices such as iPods with integrated Wi-Fi and VoIP, the study suggests, will be the preferred way to access the Internet in the future.
"Services such as VoIP, video, music, radio, news and instant messaging, coupled with mobile devices such as a Wi-Fi-enabled iPod and the ubiquity of broadband, will result in 100 million consumer Mobile VoIP users in 2011," says Mareca Hatler, ON World's Director of Research.
Hatler says Wi-Fi-enabled mobile entertainment devices will make up 36 per cent of all mobile VoIP devices sold in 2011, driven by the popularity of the iPod and of products like the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet.
