                 Rosen A10: for your mobile viewing and gaming pleasure
January 7, 2005; 9:50 a.m.  The product: A growing number of new vans and SUVs are being delivered with video screens and DVD players for the entertainment and distraction of rear-seat passengers. If a brand-new ride isn't in your near future, you might want to add an entertainment system to your existing car. You have a lot of options. Our pick from CES is the Rosen A10, one of many ceiling-mounted entertainment systems. This one mounts to the existing overhead rails that some vans and trucks are equipped with and plays not just DVDs but five built-in video games, including Pac-Man and Galaxian. It also supports external screens, so you can play a DVD on one screen and games on another. The price: $1,799. Uniquely, comes with a lifetime (as long as you own the car) warranty. The prospects: Just a huge market. Thirty percent of SUVs and vans sold today have a video display screen. People who buy a car without a screen may well want to add one later, and those who bought minivans before screens became factory options are a potential market, too. An upcoming model, the G10, will include 25 games. By Rafe Needleman, editor, CNET Reviews CES DEBUTS BY BRAND
