They already make MP3 players and PDAs, as well as some VERY NICE LCDs (or at least, branded by them). I would imagine TVs wouldn't be to hard of a market to establish.

Not surprising...have you walked into a Gateway Country lately? I walked into the local store last week to get an app and the main display is a 42" plasma hooked up to their media center, along with component stack all rebadged Gateway, plus speakers labeled Gateway. Impressive, but totally unexpected. I guess they're trying to jump past Dell since Dell already has certain parts of the market locked up.

A lot of cool stuff will be coming down the pipeline. I can't go into specifics, but think of a lot of the cool but prohibitively expensive consumer electronics out there. Look for Dell to bring commoditization and affordability to them, much like it has with Flat Panels.

Wow - they're following the lead of gateway. Gateway now has a total lineup of Plasma TVs (42"-50"), LCD TVs, an Ipod clone, MP3 Players, digital cameras, diital camcorters, surround sound theater speakers, DVD players, dvd recorders, acessories (usb cables, memory cards, memory sticks, etc), wireless cards and routers, etc, etc, etc. They even re-entered the server market.
