3 Market for Device Security

4 Symantec Mobile Enterprise Security4 Consumers Grow Sophisticated as the World Converges.. Mobile Content, Services, Providers all Converging … Emergence of the Prosumer Mobile Content, Services, Providers all Converging … Emergence of the Prosumer Better Devices –100 Million Symbian Smart Phones shipped to-date –High penetration in matured markets & youth segments in emerging markets –IMS Services Enabled Devices Richer Content –Open Standards Push eMail –38.2% CAGR grow in Mobile eMail –Richer Content on Devices –Better cameras, more storage Richer Services –M-Commerce Resurgence –Content to Blog sites
