Our take on that:

The increasing use of internet on mobile devices will have a continuous impact on the use use of (online) media. Smartphones and tablets grant access to internet sources of information, to music and to video. We’re curious to see the impact on classical media distribution like radio and TV, especially with younger people.

Smartphones and tablets are a companion the day long. They will become (or are) an integral part as well of the home entertainment experience, operating and feeding HiFi systems, multi room audio and radio devices.
