Abstract :
Consumer electronics manufacturers are cautiously moving towards mass-market home servers that bring digital content and access together in one device at the heart of a home entertainment network. There are plenty of products that merge types of digital content: camera phones, DVD/Hard Disc Drive recorders, camcorders that play MP3 files, and so on. Consumer electronics companies are pushing the idea of digital convergence but feel the public isn´t yet ready for this ultimate aim.
