Each chapter of The Digital Consumer Technology Handbook follows
a logical progression from a general overview of each device, to
market dynamics, to the core technologies and components that make
up that particular product. The book thoroughly covers key digital
consumer product categories including digital TV, digital audio,
mobile communications devices, gaming consoles, DVD players, PCs
and peripherals, display devices, digital imaging devices, web terminals
and pads, PDAs and other handhelds, 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.

where Xilinx products are being used, including the digital consumer
