One reason why I try to upgrade my electronics as little as possible to the latest widget. The number of dead ends in this book is sad. Great look at tech design of the period. Mostly pretty pictures with some commentary.

Available at the internet archives.

Interesting collection of examples, mostly from the 90s, of how designers can successfully combine form and interaction design. Albeit a bit old, it's a good coffee table book in any design studio.

Book is below expectations.
However, it's fascinating to review old technical devices.
