Batteries Required -- More Growth Forecast For Internet-Ready Devices Great opportunity for "mobile power" and/or "redundant power" - such as Valence's Saphion Technology products. About 550 million Internet access devices are expected to ship this year, compared with 427 million last year, In Stat/MDR said. Desktop PCs, laptops, tablet PCs, smart displays, personal digital assistants and cellular phones are expected to account for 98 percent of the shipments. But so called "smart appliances," which covers everything from ovens and refrigerators to email devices, are expected to have a growth rate of 95.4 percent from 2002 to 2007.
