Primedia's Connected Guide to the Digital Home has arrived on newsstands, the company announced on Tuesday. The new title, which joins seven other entertainment technology mags in the company's Home Technology & Photography Group, is dedicated to the adoption and integration of audio, video, and other personal/home technologies.

"There is a burgeoning group of smart, successful people out there looking for new and converging technologies to create safer, better informed, and more comfortable lives," said Irwin Kornfeld, vice president and group publisher of the HT&P Group, in a press release. "Connected proves that accessing and understanding these technologies and how they work together is no longer the stuff of sci-fi movies."

Advertisers in the launch issue include Sony, Fujitsu, and Bose. Connected will be published eight times a year at first, with bi-monthly publication for the first three issues. It will shift to monthly publication from September to December, then reappear in 2005 with a January/February edition. Its rate base is 70,000.
