assortment of leading publications -- from The Wall Street Journal
to Rolling Stone and Good Housekeeping -- have singled out Gateway
PCs, digital cameras, thin TVs, MP3 players, wirelessly connected
DVD players and other cutting-edge products for top honors. Here's
what some of the industry's most respected publications have said
about Gateway products: * The Wall Street Journal reviewed the
Gateway DC-T50 5MP digital camera in its Sept. 3 issue, saying,
"The sleek new Gateway DC-T50 open(s) a whole new quality level of
digital photography ... the shots from the Gateway [camera] were
sharper, truer colors." * Rolling Stone gave the Gateway Connected
DVD player four stars in its Oct. 2 issue, saying "Why connect an
ordinary DVD player to your home-theater system when ... you can
have one that not only plays movies superbly but also pipes all the
music, photo and video files stored on your computer to your
TV?"(1) * Good Housekeeping rated the ultraportable Gateway 200XL
notebook PC as the "best overall" and applauded its "powerful
processing and features" in its November issue. * Smart Computing
magazine chose the Gateway 700XL as one of the 50 hottest PC
products for the year in its December issue, describing the system
as a "killer PC with features and ultimate speed that make it
especially appealing for users who work with graphics and video."
The reviewer stated "this system's horsepower can't be beat." * In
December, Kiplinger's Personal Finance reviewed the 42-inch plasma
TV and said that "Gateway has made it so thin (about four inches
deep) that you can literally hang it on a wall, and the eye-popping
color and clarity will make it look as though your favorite movie,
high-definition-TV show or HD sporting event were happening in the
next room." * In its December issue, Tech Edge named the Gateway
610 [Media Center] as the best all-in-one PC of the year. * Stuff
magazine's November issue labeled the Gateway KAS-203 home theater
system as the "Best All-Around" in a round-up which included the
industry's top-selling home theater players. * CNET.com reviewed
another top-selling Gateway home theater system this month, the
Gateway KAS-303, saying "the 303's home-theater prowess wowed us."
* Parade magazine included Gateway's 128MB MP3 player in two
sections in its Nov. 23 Gadget Guide -- both "Small Systems, Big
Sounds" and "Robert's Essential Gadgets." The review stated that
"Gateway's 1.5-ounce digital music player is the simplest MP3
player to use. Plug it into a USB port and transfer up to two hours
of music." * TechEdge E-zine awarded the Gateway M675 notebook this
month with a coveted "5 Thumbs Up" and their Editors' Choice Award,
saying "If there is any question about which notebook is 'the
worlds fastest and most powerful' right now, it's the Gateway
M675."(2) "Last minute shoppers can go to Gateway stores to get
great deals on products that have been applauded by industry
experts," said John Long, Gateway's director of consumer product
marketing. "At Gateway, the knowledgeable sales people in the
stores can demonstrate exactly how the products work and can help
