...Everything the French firm creates seems to be more proof of concept than mass market gadget. It was among the first to launch a hard-drive based MP3 player, and it beat everyone to market with portable video.

Already, marketers have burrowed into reality shows like Survivor and The Apprentice. This season also brought us a Desperate Housewife fawning over a Buick, Bernie Mac popping Rolaids, a character in According to Jim declaring she only wants "the shrimp at Red Lobster" and an episode of Arrested Development set in a Burger King.
