The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which technology editor/analyst Andrew Tonner and industrials editor/analyst Brendan Byrnes discuss topics across the investing world.
Many established tech firms are increasingly betting on the mobile market as a source of growth for the future. And although still it's early in this big-time story, we've already seen some clear leaders emerge in this space (a little company named Apple, anyone?).
In an effort to make up for lost time, we've seen many of the lagging companies in this space release their attempts at mobile devices over the last 12 months to relatively lackluster consumer responses. Recently at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, cellphone king Nokia touted another big-time announcement, only to disappoint observers and the stock market, sending shares down sharply on the day it presented.
Listen to this video article as Andrew explains exactly what went wrong for Nokia and where this leaves the company going forward.
These companies are just one way to play the tech revolution, but there is a better Foolish pick, too. The Motley Fool has just released a free report on mobile named "The Next Trillion-Dollar Revolution" that details a hidden component play inside mobile phones that's also absolutely dominating the exploding tech market in China. Inside the report, we not only describe why the mobile revolution will dwarf any other technology revolution seen before it, but we also name the company at the forefront of the trend. Hundreds of thousands have requested access to previous reports, but you can be among the first to access this just-released report by clicking here -- it's free.
