o Report: 2006 U.S. Consumer Electronics Sales to Hit Record $135.4 Billion

Arlington, Va. - U.S. factory sales of consumer electronics will reach a new high of $135.4 billion this year, an 8% increase over 2005's $125.9 billion total, according to projections from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) trade group. Sales of digital televisions, which are forecasted to reach 18 million units and $23 billion, next-generation video game consoles ($14 billion) and MP3 players ($4.5 billion) are projected to lead the record growth of the industry. The CEA expects 30% of all MP3 players sold in 2006 to have video playback capability. "MP3 technology helped boost the audio and accessories markets in 2005. With the introduction of video playback capability, MP3 player sales surged 200 percent in 2005 to $3 billion. Trends in 2006 should be no different," said CEA director of industry analysis Sean Wargo.

o Spitzer's Probe of Digital Music Price-Fixing to Include Online Services

San Francisco - The digital music price-fixing probe recently launched by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer will also targeting digital music services, in addition to the already confirmed subpoenas sent to major record labels, CNET News.com reported. "Everybody expects to be contacted, and some already have been," Jonathan Potter, executive director of the Digital Media Association, which represents Yahoo, Apple, AOL and others, told News.com. Yahoo, Napster and Apple declined comment for the story. Spitzer is reportedly looking into the wholesale prices that labels charge music services per song, which are around 75 cents per track; the industry standard pricing at online stores is 99 cents per track. Some labels have expressed the desire to have more a more variable pricing structure for digital music, charging more for top hits and less for less popular catalog tracks. The New York Attorney General has also in the past gone after the music industry for radio payola, while the FTC settled CD price-fixing charges with the labels. "This may simply be a shot across the bow," attorney Michael Graham told News.com. "Spitzer may be saying, 'Guys, we've caught you twice before, and we know you would never try it a third time, but we're going to make sure.'"

o Analyst Raises Google's 2006 Price Target to $600; Stock Surges

Mountain View, Calif. - Shares of search engine giant Google rose nearly 5% on Tuesday after Piper Jaffray analyst Safa Rashtchy lifted the firm's target price in 2006 from $445 to $600. "Although such a high multiple may seem aggressive, we believe that given Google's dominant position in an already large yet still rapidly growing market, its phenomenal brand power and its status as a technology leader justifies such a valuation," Rashtchy wrote. In 2005, the analyst raised Google's yearly price target four times, as the company time and again beat forecasts. Google's shares closed at $435.23, up $20.37.
