Motorola Mobility to Discuss How Convergence Impacts Mobility, Media and Digital Home Management at CONNECTIONS™.

Parks Associates today welcomes David Grubb III, Vice President, Architecture & Strategy, Converged Experiences, Motorola Mobility, as the opening keynote for CONNECTIONS™: The Digital Living Conference & Showcase on June 28 at 4:20 p.m. The international research firm will host CONNECTIONS™ on June 28-30 at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

In his Keynote "Converged Experiences," Mr. Grubb will discuss the impact of the Internet and mobile networks on consumer expectations for home management, content access and more immersive, converged experiences. Over 2 billion people worldwide will have a smartphone by 2015, according to Parks Associates. The spread of these devices, along with tablets, Wi-Fi, and 3G and 4G technologies, is blurring the lines between wireless vs. wireline and home vs. mobile experiences.

"Over 60% of U.S. smartphone users are interested in an app that syncs files across multiple mobile devices," said Kurt Scherf, VP, Principal Analyst, Parks Associates. "Once consumers have these advanced devices in hand, their expectations for home management and content access expand. Mr. Grubb has invaluable insight into the implications and challenges as cloud media and connected and mobile CE redefine the digital living markets, and we look forward to his keynote at CONNECTIONS™."

In his keynote, Mr. Grubb will discuss the future vision for the home and mobile consumer experience and how the industry can best realize the potential of convergence. He will also examine the distinct kinds of convergence happening today. For example, mobility converges with computing through the advancement of powerful smartphones and tablets. Mobility is also converging with media through the growth of multiscreen TV services and companion devices. Finally, the emergence of IP content delivery and interactive services is driving the convergence of media, home management and the Internet.
