Far more news worthy is the story (start?) of Samsung/Blu-ray getting sued for defective players.
Where's that story Engadget? ******************************************************************************* Quote - A class action lawsuit filed earlier this week (.pdf) against Samsung claims the company has knowingly sold defective Blu-ray players to the public since June 2006.
The lead plaintiff in the case, Bob McGovern, says he purchased his BD-01200 Samsung Blu-ray player last summer and was subsequently unable to view "numerous Blu-ray disc titles," a fact he attributes to the player's "defective design and/or manufacture."
Lead attorneys in the case also note that there have since been a number of similar complaints levied against the company concerning the inoperability of certain Buy-ray disc titles. In some cases, Samsung has also verified that it does not intend to provide future firmware updates to correct these issues…and hence the lawsuit.
1) Again you're off topic bigtime posting this Samsung comment here. 2) Engadget did writeup this story elsewhere without needing any prompts from you. 3) If you don't like objectivity and Engadget's proven fair treatment of subject matter, then go post on sites that favor your biases.
“The other one is a biggie, and it's something very noticeable in the videos: touch sensitivity is pretty bad. Using the virtual keyboard proved to be far too painful, and we're pretty sure it wasn't multitouch-friendly.â€
