SMARTPHONES THE BIG DRAW AT CES 2010


Google’s Nexus One phone the most visible among many smartphone launches: If there were any doubts that
smartphones will dominate the leading edge of the W eb 2.0 universe in 2010, the CES helped assuage them. The
highest profile phone announcement was the release of the Google Nexus One smartphone (actually launched just
before the start of CES). But several others were featured, including the Palm Pre Plus, Lenovo’s Lephone,
Motorola’s Backflip, along with launches from Nokia, Hitachi, and Samsung.

Smartphones to drive app development in 2010: W e have commented on the smartphone market within our
coverage of Multiplied Media Corp. (TSXV:MMC, RCC target: $0.40/share, RCC rating: BUY). The key drivers of
increasing smartphone adoption (and, indeed, transition from the legacy mobile market to the smartphone) and
greater focus on mobile advertising have resulted in an explosion of software applications specifically for the
increasingly capable crop of smartphones being released. Expect to see more attention in 2010 paid to mobile gaming
(we note that gaming companies have been attracting the greatest number of financings and the highest total value of
funds, as well as in equity market price appreciation within our W eb 2.0 universe), location-based applications that
harness the GPS-capabilities of smartphones, as well as novel applications in this nascent tech space.
