"One thing is for sure, it seems Blu-ray has given packaged media the life extension that the studios had hoped for." Wow! you guys have to rank as some of the best spin meisters. The facts are that BD has only 6% of the home entertainment market, as compared to the 20% that the studios had hoped for: http://www.thewrap.com/article/crack-blu-ray-pot-gold-8564
Levinson/Bluray/ipod/iphone = ultimate oxymoron
"Blu ray is a dead man walking." Apparently most agree-- the poll shows fewer intend to buy BR in 2009 than 2008--that's a death sentence.
You guys are in for a big surprise--VUDU matches Blu-Ray quality already.
Let's be real -- and honest; 1080p costs 40 to 60% more than 720p; and maybe 1% of the purchaser's sit close enough to tell the difference. 99% are throwing their money away, period.
Kmart has a Sylvania 32" for $369; Sears has a Panasonic 42" 720p for $699. Once again, why pay $599 for a 32" Vizio that you have to sit within 8' just to see HD, when you can have a 42 Panasonic that you can see HD from 11' for only $100 more?
I don't understand why people pay the extra money for 1080p in a 32" when you have to sit within 4' to see the difference over a 720p, and within 8' to even see HD at all.
You missed the important fact that BR is three times as expensive to press than DVD--that's why I went directly from HD-DVD to Vudu--BR is a Rube Goldberg step that should be skipped entirely.
Don't blame the studios for the high cost of BR discs--they still costs 3 times as much to manufacture as DVD. But you can blame them for killing HD-DVD. Come to think of it, they are being hoisted on their petards. As so many warned us, the loss of HD-DVD would cost all consumers dearly.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
