I would hold your breath for the Atom processor...the 2133 would have to have its motherboard redesigned...much more likely is the availability of the Isaiah processor from via...has same pin configuration
Just an FYI...walmart is six times the size of amazon...and the largest retailer in the world..you want these guys on your side...
Why does everyone on the HD DVD side keep talking about the economics being bad to have a format winner....dont you understand the consumer buying a $200 hd dvd player (at a loss)isnt doing the industry a favors or paying unverisal 150 million to go exclusive doesnt help Toshiba or make them happy.or profitable....this is a war of attrition.. responible companies will go only so far with incentives to get marketshare..Toshiba is a good company...they will gracefully bow and exit...as far as hardware goes there are several manufactures that make blu ray...that will keep the hardware competitively priced...no not at an unrealistic loss...as far as software (titles) goes...I havent seen any edge to either format on price...other than giving the for free by the hardware manufacturer (who pays the studio for them) The bottom line: if you want HD Disc to be a viable format your going to have to pay for it now...prices will come done just like DVD...over time when the economic support it....for me $25. for a $100,000,000 movie played on a $500 machine that is a better quality that the movie theater is quite a bargin...
spokesperson is one word...
Andy...Your so angry...and nothing what you have said has any basis in fact... Notice I did not bash HD DVD..I actually think its a good format.. Remember the whole idea behind HD DVD and Toshiba was to advance DVD technology to HD using existing manufacturing processes...The Blu Ray Camp wanted to take the blue laser technology further without working within the constraints of DVD manufacturing technology ... that said Blu Ray has much more potnetial..now some fact Sound and Vision Magazine review (read the whole 3 page article if you must):"BOTTOM LINE With its crisp 1080p Blu-ray Disc playback, flexible, wide-ranging audio options, and mounds of other network and gaming features, the Sony PlayStation 3 is nothing short of awesome. From my perspective, the only reason someone would buy a standalone Blu-ray player instead of a PS3 is a complete aversion to videogames — either that, or the desire for a more traditional A/V form factor (that also includes upconversion of standard-def DVDs). That said, Sony's PS3 game console is one of the most exciting, well-executed home theater products I've laid my hands on in a long time."
over 90% of blu ray player are ps3s and they will be profile 1.1 compatible with firmware
PS3 Not a Blu ray player...do your research before your blog...Not only is it a blu ray player...its rated as phenominal blu ray player which is fully upgradeable to the new 1.1 profile
The cable would not be the problem...unless its over 30-40 feet ....but it wouldnt look like a quality problem...it would be a transmission problem with video and audio dropouts.
I plan on using the Playstation 3 because its a great game console and a bluray player
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!"
