U.S. back on top in many consumer electronics areas

Until recently, just about every device with a cord or battery under the Christmas tree came from a company based in Japan, China or somewhere else overseas.

But something surprising has happened in many sectors of the consumer electronics business: U.S.-based companies are on top.

Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. clearly dominate the personal computer industry. Even IBM Corp.'s sale of its PC business to China's Lenovo Group Ltd. last week (Tuesday) doesn't change that.

Apple Computer Inc.'s revolutionary iPod blasted away Sony Corp.'s Walkman to become the No. 1 portable music device.

PalmOne Inc. and HP dominate the market for personal digital assistants, the little organizers that seem like they should be a quintessential Japanese product.

In other areas, U.S. makers are coming on strong.
