There are many types of consumer electronics used and/or advertised throughout the [[GTA|Grand Theft Auto series]], some of them usable by the player. Consumer electronics can be seen advertised at various electronics stores, or heard about in radio advertisements.

==Computers==

Some computers were made usable in [[GTA IV]], [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[GTA Chinatown Wars]]; these computers are found at [[TW@|TW@ internet cafes]], some safehouses, and one as part of the GTA IV mission [[Wrong is Right]].  In GTA IV and its expansions, computers are only used for the [[Internet in GTA IV|in-game web]] and email; in [[GTA Chinatown Wars]], computers are only used for email and wi-fi play.

Known makers of computers in the [[GTA]] series are: [[Fruit Computers]], [[ThriftEX]], [[Kakagawa]] and [[Panoramic]]. There is also a computer of an unknown make called the [[Kruton 9000]]. Operating systems include [[Fruit Computers|Fruit OS]], [[To$$]] and [[Eunux.net|Eunux]].

==Televisions and DVD players==
In [[GTA IV]] and [[The Lost and Damned]], TVs can be [[Television|watched]]. TVs are made by [[Panoramic]] and [[ThriftEX]]. These companies also manufacture DVD players (unusable by the player), which are commonly found alongside their TV counterparts at safehouses.

==Mobile Phones and PDAs==

Mobile phones or cell phones are seen in many [[GTA]] games, but only became actively usable by the player in the [[GTA IV era]]; in GTA IV and its expansions, the player can use phones to make and receive calls, receive or reply to SMS/MMS messages, adjust in-game settings, access cheats, and enter online multiplayer mode.  Some models of phone can take photos, which can be sent to characters as part of certain missions.  Known mobile phone carriers include [[Whiz]], [[Badger]], [[Squid]] and [[Tinkle]]; the only known models of mobile phone are the [[BitterSweet]], [[Fruit Computers|iFruit]] and [[Sumo]]. In [[GTA IV]] and [[The Lost and Damned]], extra ringtones and wallpapers for mobile phones can be downloaded at [[Vipluxuryringtones.com]].

In [[GTA Chinatown Wars]], a [[Panoramic]] PDA takes the place of a mobile phone.  Although calls cannot be made, emails can be sent, GPS (including waypoints) can be accessed, radio stations can be selected, weapons can be ordered online, and wi-fi can be accessed.

==Consumer Robots==

Robots are also mentioned on the website [[Elchamucoroboto.com]], the official website for [[El Chamuco Roboto|¡El Camucho Roboto!]] made by the same company that made the [[Domestobot]]. More robots are talked about on the website [[Domestobotlovers.com]] where there are details about the Frotobot 3000 robot.  The capabilities and AI of these robots, even the circa-1984 Domestobot, are apparently in advance of modern robotics, although this is presumably comedic license, as the technological level of the GTA world rarely differs much from our own.

==Writing Tablets==
On the website [[Electronicwritingtablet.com]], the [[Panoramic]] HeavyPad and [[Target]] AC tablet computers are mentioned, with the suggestion that [[Fruit Computers]] and Facade also make tablet computers.
