5.5. Existing Potential Markets

It is clear that the digital revolution is here, as more consumers are buying an increasing array of digital devices for creating their own multimedia content, such as audio, video, and still photos. At an increasing rate, consumers are creating digital art of all types and using their PCs with their consumer electronics devices, from digital cameras to stereos to digital TVs. A related trend is wireless home networks that enable consumers to combine their digital hi-fi stereo receiver, media server, wireless router, DVD player, cable/satellite box, PVRs, and game consoles in their living room [3]. Analysts, such as Allied Business Intelligence, predict that more than 50 percent of all TVs shipped in 2008 will be networked [4].
