Abstract:
Consumer Gadgets is the easy "how-to" guide to 50 of today's most amazing high-tech innovations -- and tomorrow's.

Evans demystifies everything from TiVo to OnStar, XM to Segway -- plus many exciting products and services not yet on the market. Evans offers simple explanations and practical usage scenarios, as well as realistic guidance on choosing the "winners" -- and avoiding the "losers."
