The proliferation of digital content stored in the home has largely been driven by the popularity of the MP3 audio codec, abundance of digital cameras/camcorders and availability of all types of digital content over broadband connections. The PC has acted thus far as the primary device which aggregates, manages and in some cases, streams content to other PCs or CE devices in the home. The need to more easily perform these tasks has led to the development of dedicated Media Server platforms such as NAS Media Servers (Network Attached Storage), Set Top Box Media Servers and High-End Media Servers, along with the PC acting as a Media Server.

In almost all published research reports, and in consumer usage cases which have been the basis for the development of media server platforms, portability has been largely overlooked as devices have been designed to operate in a single location with static devices in the home. This study considers the development of an emerging class of Media Server devices, which S2 Data identifies as Portable Content Servers (PCS). PCS devices will allow consumers to playback, access and share media outside of a consumer" s own digital home. The report also considers a class of Portable Content Servers designed to stream media to other portable devices such as cell phones, PDAs, notebooks and Portable Media Players.
