"Apple is the dominant player in the tablet and smartphone markets, and its main competition is the Android operating system and applications platform," said Kurt Scherf, VP, Principal Analyst, Parks Associates. "But the ecosystem for the connected CE market is much more varied, with its own unique challenges. Apple is likely planning to port its Siri interface to smart TVs, but only 37% of iPhone 4S owners want a similar voice-command interface for their TV set."
Parks Associates research finds consumers are already creating overlapping use cases among different platforms. Currently 42% of U.S. consumers with a media tablet use the device to check listings while watching television.
According to Parks Associates, household penetration worldwide of Internet-connectable CE products as of year-end 2011 is:
Smart TVs: 67 million
Internet-connectable Blu-ray
Players: 22 million
Internet-connectable Game
Consoles: 75 million
Digital Video Media Players: 14
million
Media Tablets: 74 million
Scherf and Harry Wang, Director, Mobile and Health Research, Parks Associates, will present consumer research to highlight the key factors that will differentiate connected CE operating systems and applications platforms. They will also present expert analysis on market strategies to succeed in the app markets:

effective app design and
deployment

apps and mobile platforms such
as tablets and smartphones
