I do tend to agree a bit with this assessment regarding the BDA associationg being overly optomistic. I guess it probably comes down a bit to company pride. Everyone wants to believe the company they work for is pretty good at what they do, doing pretty well and is economically secure.
I sure as heck wouldn't want to work at a company that sucks at what they do, make a horribly overpriced product in an economic recession and feel unsure about my companies' economic future.
So sure. We'll just add all those PS3s. 21 million world wide I think Sony as touting or was it 24 million? as blu-ray players. See, that's a lot? If each one buys 2 blu-rays a year, we'll have 50 million sales. At $20.00 - $30.00 a movie, we'll say averaging $25.00, we'd have a billion dollars in sales. Its money in studio's pockets?
Let alone all those standalone players which probably would have a much higher yearly attach rate. With both standalone players becoming cheaper and ps3s become cheaper(or so analysts like Michael Pratcher suggest) before x-mas, you'll probably see an slow but gradual uptake of blu-ray players and sales. You just have to try not to factor in or try to ignore an economic depression.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.
