Abstract

One of the hallmarks of consumer electronics (CE) products and systems is that, while the product concept is often simple, these products themselves are never simple in their engineering aspects. If you disagree, then I will direct you to consider that smartphone in your pocket?it has RF technology that could only have been found in military systems two decades ago, and it has cinematic-quality video rendering capabilities, high-speed networking, high-quality image and video capture, significant data storage capabilities, and more computing power than many desktops?all in a form factor that can fit in your pocket and run on battery power.
