Trends & Statistics
The Market
• Last year, consumers bought 89 cents’ worth of accessories for every $1 spend on PCs
- Bob O’Donnell, IDC July 2009
• Notebooks represented three out of four computers shipped to the U.S. consumer market during the second
quarter of 2009. The preliminary figures from IDC’s PC Tracker indicate that the consumer appetite for
mobile computers remains unchallenged despite the economic malaise affecting general demand in the
Press
U.S. market. - IDC Report July 2009
• What is even more indicative of unabated consumer attraction to mobile computing is that the consumer
notebook growth is estimated at a solid 63% year on year.
- IDC Report July 2009
Men’s
• Next year, global Netbook shipment growth will decelerate to a less-astounding, but still impressive, 39.6%
from this year, iSuppli said. That slowdown will continue at least until 2013, when the growth rate is
expected to be 13.1%. - iSuppli April 2009
Partnerships Women’s
• Within the worldwide PC market, notebook shipments are expected to increase more than 26% in 2008,
according to IDC. This double-digit growth will likely continue through 2012, although IDC does see some
slowdown at the end of the four-year period. - IDC - March 2008
• Portable adoption remains the primary driver in all regions, nearly matching record quarterly growth in Q3
2007, and record annual growth in 2005. Increases of more than 50% in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan)
and Rest of World helped boost these regions to more than 36% of Portable volume, while the USA and
Western Europe saw growth above 20% and continue to account for more than 50% of Portable volume.
- IDC Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker, March 2008
Features
• Hot back-to-school demand boosted overall shipments. Portable PCs enjoyed a 33.5 increase from a year
ago, but desktops continued their descent reflecting the consumer drive to mobile computers.”
- IDC Worldwide Trackers 2009
Accessories
• Overall, however, the growth differential between desktops and laptops has never been larger. IDC reported
that in the third quarter, laptop sales growth was more than 33 percentage points over desktop growth. That
differential has not been more than 30% since 1996. - IDC - December 2007
• PC shipments are expected to show gains of 10.3 percent in 2010. The total number of shipments is likely
to hit 291.4 million units this year and 321.4 million in 2010, up from 287.6 million in 2008.”

- IDC Worldwide Trackers
Netbook/UltraPortable Growth
Conclusion
• Worldwide mini-notebooks or Netbook shipments are on pace to reach 5.2 million units this year
and 8 million units next year, Gartner said. Manufacturers could ship as many as 50 million of the
devices in 2012. - Gartner Research - September 2008
• In all, chipmaker Intel says, 10 manufacturers will bring 20 models to market by year’s end.
It expects netbook sales to top 50 million a year by 2011.
- Intel - July 2008
• Notebook sales jumped 51.6% year over year
Notebook sales were up 49% in 2005 compared to 2004
• “Consumers spend an additional $314 for each notebook”*
Top items: Input devices • Carrying cases • Extended warranties

Wireless Security Shield™
The Market
The Mobile Edge Wireless Security Shield™ has been engineered to thwart electronic
threats targeting wireless products including Bluetooth-enabled cell phones and PDAs.
By placing their cell phone or PDA in the Wireless Security Shield™ accessory pocket,
users can insulate their device from Bluejacking, Bluesnarfing, wireless spam and even
viruses that can spread among Bluetooth-enabled computers.

• “We are not aware of any workarounds for the SNARF or BLUEBUG
attacks at this time, other than to switch off Bluetooth.”

The Threats
The SNARF attack
Connect to cell phones without alerting the owner.
Hacker gains access to entire phonebook (and any images or other data associated with the entries), calendar, IMEI
(International Mobile Equipment Identity), which uniquely identifies the phone to the mobile network, and is used in
illegal phone ‘cloning’) and more
The BACKDOOR attack
Establish trust relationship through “pairing”, but ensure it no longer appears to victim.
Features
Attacker is free to continue to use any resource so data be retrieved from the phone without the owner’s knowledge
or consent
The BLUEBUG attack
Accessories
Hacker gains full access to AT command set, enabling use of phone to initiate calls to premium rate numbers, send
SMS messages, read SMS messages, connect to Internet, and monitor conversations in the vicinity of the phone
BLUEJACKING
Hacker “pairs“ with Bluetooth phone to pass message during initial “handshake” phase, creating potential security
problems
Sumo
The Solution - The Wireless Security Shield™
How it works:
Conclusion
• Engineered to eliminate electronic threats targeting Bluetooth-enabled cell phones & PDAs
• By placing their cell phone or PDA within the Wireless Security Shield™ pocket, Mobile Edge
customers insulate their device from Bluejacking, Bluesnarfing, spam and viruses that can
spread among Bluetooth-enabled devices
