Why would that happen when Windows 7 includes Blu-ray support?
I'm with teckstud on the blue-ray, it seems a shame there's no high definition optical media to go with those nice big 21 and 27 inch iMacs. Furthermore few people have access to that unlimited high speed broadband that makes downloading films less than tedious.
Nevertheless we're wandering away from the original thread!
It's all good stuff if Android ads help sell iPhone apps. It's impressive how much software was created for the iPhone within a short space of time when compared to Windows Mobile.
To be fair, there are lots of people that wonder why they can take their high-def footage from their high-def camera and edit it in their free high-def iMovie, but they can't burn a high-def version onto a high-def disc to play in their high-def disc player on their high-def TV. It's the only missing link in the chain for the Mac user. Obviously Apple's market research has determined them to not be a critical mass, but there are lots and it's not unreasonable to hear from them. And if their current computer does everything else they want to do it's not unreasonable for lack of Blu-ray burning to be a deal-breaker.
It could be a desired feature, but I can't imagine it as a deal breaker (for me, anyway).
And you are right, it is strange that with iMovie HD, BR isn't there. But, the alternative, is to go with a Win box with BR, but then that doesn't have iMovie. I am sure some with claim there are comparable solutions on the PC, they are still no iMovie. So, on the one hand you are missing Bluray, but on the other you are missing iMovie.
Still, I find it funny that in this day and age, anyone gets excited about optical storage. It is essentially being excited about the last iteration of a dying paradigm. I would be amused to hear "Whoohoo, VHS-HQ!!!" or "My next tape deck must have auto-reverse!"
I would like Blu-Ray in my computer, but teckstud is just being condescending, but so was Tulkas' reply, and PatsFan83's reply is just ignorant of anyone who wants non-Apple solutions or who likes owning tangible objects. You are all tools. Stop acting like your way of life should be everyone else's.

I sure wish Apple kept floppy drives in their Macs. I would love to hold on to those tangible discs.
I guess I disagree with Studdlytech. Don't need blue ray inside the case - attaching it externally makes more sense - once it's at the same level of dev that CD and DVD are I would reconsider it. But then the industry is already working on potential replacements for blue ray, so.....
Anyway tS is the resident contrarian/Turet's candidate here, so weight the offerings according to the intent.
Oh right - the iPhone commercial highlighting the Pizza Hut app is soo much better.
Precisely--a great example. Even the most mundane of apps in an Apple ad series that showcases dozens is more polished than the best MyTouch can dig up to show.

Well then I guess all those home entertainment blu-ray buyers are just throwing their money out their Windows when they buy the "Magnificent 7".

Most reports on the adoption rate of BluRay players contain words like "slow", "disappointing", "at risk", "losing to online distribution"...I wonder why?
Still, there is a market for stand alone players and more so in gaming consoles. Barely a blip on most computer purchases. There are those that want Bluray on their computers. hardly a major selling point through.
tS, it can be called complementarianism - where one product's market is increased due to the effects of another similar but unrelated product. That's effectively what they are reporting - and you will see a lot of this sort of thing go back and forth as the various platforms build out their apps libraries - user will see an app on one and check to see if it or one similar is available on another. A very simple and easy to understand cause-and-effect situation. You see it countless times a day - probably without realizing it.

Can't tell- you linked me to 17 TV ADS. Which one is it? Get your linkage right. The app is shown more than half a second
The link is just fine. It's the ad that plays when you click on the link. It's called "Nature". And actually, the Pizza Hut icon is show for less than half a second.
You mention the commercial highlighting the Pizza Hut app. My point was that it mentions lots of apps from the very useful to the mundane.

Oh, so now it's the Pizza Hot app icon. Dude, you're pushing it. What about all the images of the selection of the pizza's toppings. Oh yeah-that's really a productive app yet you mock t Mobile?
Like I said, there is a market for them, especially and mainly, in the home theater market. Most of that article deals with significant rate of sales for BR titles, not the players. They do mention a 13% increase in the number of player units sold in 2009. Both could probably be mainly attributed to the death of HD-DVD the year before.
This article from June of this year, mentions that 7% of US homes have BluRay, while 11% have HD-DVD...a dead format. Not exactly a sign of it being a must have. Sale will increase for BR devices for the next couple years, I expect, but it will never surpass DVD.

Sorry to burst your bubble but your number is incorrect. It should be 16% for Blu-ray as a Sony Play Staion is also a Blu-ray player.
The lionk is not just fine it should take me directly to the ad not it and 16 other ads. Do you really think I have time or the desire to watch all other 16 ap ads?
The link is just fine. It does take you to the exact ad I'm talking about. You're just not waiting for the 25 seconds until they mention the "pizza lovers" line. Either that or maybe it's a browser issue. Unfortunately I'm at work and on a Windows machine. I'm using Firefox. When I click on the link it takes QuickTime about 3 seconds to start the ad that I'm talking about. No need for searching. Yes, there are other ads below it, but the ad I'm linking to should start playing for you. But like I said maybe your browser does it differently. Anyway, I told you it is called "Nature".

I'm not pushing anything. You brought up the Pizza Hut ad. And the icon, plus all the pizza images (1) take up about 1/2 of one second. If "Nature" is not the ad you're talking about, then please link to the Pizza Hut ad you are referring to.

Calm down.
Are these Israelis making this up? Seriously.
1.) Search "steam" in App Store and iFog is nowhere in site. iSteam and many other names with steam do.
2.) The Google app is called Steamy Window Pro not Foggy Window Pro.
3.) The Israelis have no connection at all to Steamy Window Pro
4.) The T-Mobile ad clearly shows steam not fog.

Rather than explain why and give it away, it's more fun to watch it happen and then look back

I heard he was at BestBuy with his dad looking at a Windows 7 system. They are both really excited about it...especially with BluRay.
