mobile communications devices, gaming consoles, DVD players, PCs
and peripherals, display devices, digital imaging devices, web

screenphones/videophones, telematics, eBooks, and other current and
future products. Early indications, based on sales at Fry's
Electronics, suggest the handbook will receive a strong market
reception.
