This is the part I find interesting:

<<Target product market growth areas include Internet appliances, where Diamond Multimedia is an industry leader with its well-known Rio MP3 music player, and home networking, where Diamond is a leader with its wireless and phoneline HomeFree product line. In addition, S3 and Diamond Multimedia intend to continue to aggressively invest in Diamond's DSL and cable modem programs. >>

The industry is moving in the direction of Broadband access and DSL. Cable modems are expensive and networking is going to be key here. When Jr. want to access with his Pc in his room and You want to go take your laptop out on the porch to hook up using wireless, and Sis wants to download mp3 into her Rio, functionality would be much easier if the same company makes all the peripherals to execute these functions. The whole package might be very appealing. I can see Dell with their customize PCs stepping in here too. Oh yeah and you can surf the web while you're sitting on the can. Pass the TP.
