  Phantom Lapboard Finds Manufacturer - MegaGames console
Infinium Labs, has entered into an agreement with Chicony, a manufacturer and marketer in input devices such as keyboards and PC cameras, to build a custom combination keyboard/mouse peripheral that will ship with Infinium's flagship Phantom Gaming Service.

  Console manufacturer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As of 2004, the most significant console manufacturers in the industry during the 128-bit era are Sony (PlayStation 2), Nintendo (GameCube), and Microsoft (Xbox).
An interesting strategy that many console manufacturers take is to sell their console at a low price (respective to the production costs) with the hopes that this will entice more consumers to purchase the hardware, which in turn will generate additional profit through extra software sales.
While there have been cases of consoles becoming successful partly because they were the first ones released within a specific era (most notably Sega with their Megadrive during the 16-bit era), success from being the "first-mover" is not always guaranteed.

 Use of a Game Over: Emulation and the Video Game Industry, A White Paper
Console manufacturers and game publishers should consider how to build their competitive advantage by responding to the unmet consumer demand that drives the emulation phenomenon, pricing their products reasonably and dynamically so as not to drive customers to emulators, and using the law judiciously to protect their intellectual capital.
Console manufacturers should acquire best of breed emulators and use the acquired IP in their defense against other emulator developers (who often emulate source code from the leading emulators).
Console manufacturers must remain vigilant and carefully observe the market; the solution provided by embracing emulation will be short-lived if console manufacturers are not poised to respond proactively to the next trend.

 USITT DMX512 - Behind the Revision
Before DMX512, most manufacturers had their own dimmer control protocol that were proprietary and incompatible with other manufacturers' equipment.
The expectation was that manufacturers would continue to use their own proprietary protocols but when a user needed to mix manufacturers, the user would switch over to DMX512.
This could mean that in localized or single manufacturer systems, everything operates fine; however, equipment could fail to work correctly when connected as part of a large or multi-manufacturer system.

 AtariAge Forums -> New Atari Console   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
It could be stealth, "under the radar", way Atari is getting into the console business again; start out with cheap classics and once established as a console manufacturer, even a retro one, they just might release a NEW console eventually (probably a while away though).
Plus, just the fact that they are releasing this, proves that the licensed all-in-one Atari Joystick was a success, and they wanted to continue with that success in-house and officially bring retro-gaming back into the mass-market and out of the mere curiosity catagory that the stand-alone joysticks are/were.
But the 7800, which this console is modeled after, and inludes 1/4 7800 games, was also a miserable failure on the market like the Jag, yet they are basically re-releasing it.
