보다 얇게 만드는 것이 경쟁력인 슬림폰 상용화 경쟁이 작년에 이어 올해도 계속 되고 있다. 업계 관측에 따르면 올 하반기는 물론 내년 상반기에도 슬림 휴대폰 출시 열기는 식지 않을 전망이다. 휴대폰에 많은 기능이 삽입되고 있어 대형화 추세를 피할 수 없지만 조금이라도 얇게 만들면 '보다 소형'으로 인식되기 때문이다. 비형.폴더형.슬라이드형으로 구분지어 박형 휴대폰의 진행 추이를 짚어봤다.

휴대폰.PMP.MP3P 등 디지털기기 시장이 커지면서 주변기기들도 소비자들의 관심을 받고 있다. 이들 기기를 보호하는 케이스 판매량이 최근 크게 늘고 있는 것. 휴대폰의 경우, 슬림폰과 컬러폰의 유행으로 온라인 시장에서 케이스 매매가 급증하고 있다. PMP도 제품 보호를 위한 가죽소재 가방(파우치)과 아머케이스(armorcase)가 필수품으로 인식되면서 판매량이 늘고 있다. PMP제조사들은 신제품 출시 때, 이를 포함한 팩키지 상품을 판매하는 게 현재 추세다. 가격대가 떨어지면서 보급화되다시피한 MP3P에서는 패션을 강조하는 케이스가 젊은층에게서 인기를 끌고 있다.

According to the customers' demands, cellular phones are getting thinner and thinner in spite that their functions are getting more complex and flexible. Based on this trend, we are willing to propose new design of ultra slim cellular phone with multi-hinges which can provide thinner feature and wider active area than the current merchandised one. To make it come true, smaller and stronger mechanical parts would be necessary and more researches would be carried out in the near future. Moreover, the new frame of ultra slim cellular phone has the problem in heat propagation due to its thin feature and multi function. In this paper, slim heat-spreader would be proposed as a candidate to resolve the problem of heat transfer in the new cellular phone. To investigate the applicability of heat-spreader to cellular phones, prototypes were fabricated and verified.

This paper examines critical successful elements related to the management of new product development process. For this, we have selected a VK-X100, slim bar type cellular phone, produced by VK mobile co., which was thought as a successful product development case and then analysed the case from a concept driven strategic product development's point of view. We have performed in-depth interviews with project managers, engineers and designers to get information on the product development process and analysed huge amount of data obtained from web-sites, global market indicators, and related firms' materials to find a changing trend of market conditions. The findings suggest that the successful new Product development and management is shaped by a number of different factors, such as the business environments, firm's technological level, firm's deep market insight capabilities, nature of the product development activities, and so on. Finally, we suggested the limitation of our research and further research subjects that would be required to support our findings.
