You know what would be cool?
If someone took a portable game device, heh, yeah, and instead of putting the microphone and speaker on the back, heheh.. Get this...

THEY PUT THEM ON THE SIDE!!!

... oh wait... somebody already did that...
wasn't it called, the Ngage!?!

(Before you flame, I know the NES controller isn't operational nor was it meant to be... Just making a joke. NEVER FORGET ABOUT SIDETALKIN'!!!)

I posted the same thing on Engadget...

Hate to do this to youse guys, but you REALLY should read the press release. Both Hitachi and Mitsu are doing both HD and BD. Impress Watch might have been a little biased towards HD or their post was to focus solely on HD-DVD, but if you look at the companies' websites, you'll see they offer both BD and HD. On top of that, Maxell is releasing info about the DL and RE versions too.

Kinda makes the whole statement about HD beating out BD moot, eh? This would even warrant a post title change.

BTW, Maxell = Hitachi? If not, edit, edit, edit!
