Sensors for Cell phones & Tablets Market Innovations & Competitive Analysis – Forecast

There has been an increasing application of sensors for cell phones and tablets across the globe as a result of the ease it provides in the technological advancement of cell phone and tablets. MEMS and sensors are extremely popular and very important component that enable many of the new features on smart phone and tablets. Based on communication features and designs, all sensors smart phones are segmented into three main groups: external sensors, sensors and built-in (embedded, internal). External sensors are further segregated into wire sensors and wireless sensors. Wire sensors include dock connector or physically connected to a USB port, detachable units etc. Wireless sensors are connected by Bluetooth with a wearable sensing module.
