The pervasive HDMI is shipping in 350 million consumer devices in 2010, In-Stat says

In-Stat has reported the number of mobile phones with HDMI ports will ship in excess of a million units in 2010 and in consumer electronics In-Stat says HDMI has become pervasive accounting for over 350 million devices shipping in 2010.

"The emergence of phones that can capture 720p HD video has helped HDMI gain penetration over the last year," says Brian O'Rourke, Principal Analyst. "HDMI faces significant challenges in this market, however. First, it must convince both phone vendors and wireless service providers to include an additional port on their devices. Second, HDMI faces increased competition from new interfaces such as the Mobile High-definition Link (MHL)."

Some of the findings include:
Overall HDMI device shipments will increase by 20.8% annually through 2014.
DVI device shipments will increase through 2011 before starting a slow decline.
HDMI is gaining traction in mobile PCs, graphics cards, and PC monitors.
DVI device shipments will begin a slow decline due to competition from both DisplayPort and HDMI.
