Claim:
1. A device comprising a display screen; an audio part that produces audio; a processor that receives content and produces output for the display screen and for the audio part based on said content; a memory, that stores settings for displaying the content; said processor operating to determine wireless information in a location of the device, and to use said wireless information to determine if the device is in a retail store by comparing said information with information in a database that represents information of multiple different retail stores, and to store first settings in said memory that represent the device being in the retail store when the comparing indicates that the location of the device is in a retail store, said first settings comprise a first brighter output for the display screen and a second louder output for the audio part, said processor operative to determine from said wireless information that the device is not in a retail store, and to store second settings in said memory that represent the device being in a non-retail setting responsive to determining from said wireless information that the device is not in the retail store, said second settings comprise a first less bright output for the display screen and a second less loud output for the audio part, further comprising a network interface, and the processor determines a location of the device by obtaining internet address information from signals received over the network interface and comparing said internet address information with said database, where said database stores internet address information correlated with retail locations, wherein the network interface is a wireless network interface, and the processor determines the location based on identifying SSIDs in the wireless interface, and where the database stores SSIDs correlated with retail locations and compares the SSIDs identified in the wireless interface with SSIDs in the database, and determines the device to be a in the retail location when the SSIDs identified in the wireless interface match with SSIDs in the database, wherein, when the SSIDs identified in the wireless interface do not match with SSIDs in the database, the processor uses a GPS location detection to determine if the to be in the retail location when the location detected by the GPS location matches with a location of a retail location as stored in the database.
