| NOTAS: | "2013 has been another eventful year in consumer technology, with two past devices leaders, Nokia and BlackBerry, effectively exiting the scene. These two companies are the latest victims of fundamental shifts in the consumer tech market over the past few years. Many vendors unable, unwilling, or slow to adapt to the new competitive dynamics have fallen by the wayside. The pressure on traditional device manufacturers will persist in 2014, with further hardware commoditization and continuing moves toward multi-screen content and service access." |
