now own an average of 25 consumer electronics products, according
to the 2005 “CE Ownership and Market Potential” study
released today by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). Moreover,
each U.S. household typically spends more than $1,250 annually
on consumer electronics (CE) products. The study also reveals that
households are equally enthusiastic about their content, owning
on average approximately 100 music CDs, more than 40 DVD movies
and 16 video games...
In many categories, the transition is more than just a
move to digital, but rather a move away from products that use
physical media (i.e., CDs) and a move towards hard drive-based
products [emphasis added] (i.e., portable MP3 players).

revenues to $1.2 billion. These devices now can be found in approximately
15 percent of homes...
