Through an agreement with Yahoo! to license the Yahoo! name, Diamond Electronics will manufacture, distribute and market Yahoo!-branded products in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Specifically, DVD hardware and home entertainment systems.
By adding it's name recognition to the mix and offering these electronics for sale online, it looks like they can move some of this stuff pretty readily. One thing that's for sure, when you get ready to make a purchase over the Internet, the Yahoo! name gives you confidence. I just made a major purchase through a Yahoo! online store and wasn't worried a bit. They have a good name and this really helps when it comes to making these purchases. Below, we can take a look at some of the consumer electronics that they are offering.

The first one kind of looks like a model of a Star Trek
ship that Chekov would pilot or maybe Sulu, but not Kirk. Unless he was
just on a short hop to a rendezvous with the Enterprise, probably with some flunky at the helm that would later be killed in a transporter malfunction...uh never mind, I digress. The above items range from 80 to 100 dollars US with the exception of the last card reader type player that has yet to be released and priced. You can read a press release here to get more information on the partnership.
