PMP/MP3 players are starting to become very common today. They can be found all kinds of shapes, sizes and prices. This is still a relatively young market and, despite the fact that the players have been around since end of the last century, it’s first during the last couple of years that the market have really started to move. During 2006 180 million players was sold worldwide and this year the sales are expected to reach close to 217 million. According to iSuppli the trend will subside a little but still be increasing steadily to 269 million sold players in 2011. The market value is then calculated to have reached a whopping $21.5 billion. The strong growth will be dependent on the growing possibilities to go online and download media directly on to the player, and not the least the possibilities to swap media with your friends.
