  Where broadband Internet is headed: To the kitchen 

  http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/09/16/news/novel17.php

  NEW YORK : Dream kitchens may soon include a computer along with the latest refrigerator or oven. That way, people gathered at the family hub can satisfy their digital needs along with nutritional ones. ... Hewlett-Packard's new TouchSmart IQ770 PC, which retails for $1,699 in the United States, is designed for that kitchen of the future, where people turn on the computer - along with the coffeepot - and then check the screen for the weather, ball scores and the family calendar as they prepare breakfast.

  TOKYO Masaya Igarashi wants $200 headphones for his new iPod Touch, and he's torn between Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PlayStation 3 game consoles. When he has saved up again, he plans to splurge on a digital ... camera or flat-screen TV. There's one conspicuous omission from the college student's shopping list: a new computer. The PC's role in Japanese homes is diminishing, as its once-awesome monopoly on processing power is encroached by gadgets such as smart phones that act like pocket-size computers, advanced Internet-connected game consoles, and digital video recorders with terabytes of memory. "A new PC just isn't high on my priority list right now," said Igarashi, who was shopping at a Bic Camera electronics shop in central Tokyo and said his three-year-old desktop was "good for now." "For the cost, I'd rather buy something else," he said. Japan's PC market is already shrinking, leading analysts to wonder whether it will become the first major market to see a decline in personal comput   [More...] [Less...]
