The price gap between wi-fi only and cellular embedded devices is shrinking and that’s posing new challenges and opportunities for vendors.

Gartner predicts that by 2019 non smartphone devices could amount to 600 million units in 2019.

That will mean manufacturers of notebooks – for example HP – will have to strike deals with network providers to meet demand from people.

Although the number of wi-fi hot spots is steadily increasing, people want to be able to access data just about everywhere without having to rely on the hit and miss hotspot game.
