Marvin, thanks for the link. With those prices it looks like we have quite a wait until 32GB flash drives become afordable enough to go into the iPod Touch and iPhone.

The Seattle Times in their Monday Business section runs a feature called "Tech Snapshots". In today's Snapshot there'a a survey called "Our Electronic Lives", which makes interested reading. The survey, run by ABI Research asked asked respondents…

For Marz and SDW, I stand by by contention that neither side is winning. Using a football analogy, the game is in the second quarter and BD is ahead by a healthy margin but the game isn't over yet. One can start talking about a BD victory when Unive…

Bite, I thought the BD re-release of TFE looked great. On the AVS board it ranked as a solid gold, one step down from the platinum level. It's too bad Sony didn't do it right the first time, but at least they made good to all the original purchasers…

One of the things I'm anticipating for 4Q is the release on BD of some my of old time favorites that I only have on Criterion LDs, such as 2001, Close Encounters and Blade Runner. So let's put aside the bickering on which format is winning, the …

Firewire died in the iPod when Apple went with a Windows version, as many Windows machines don't have Firewire. So don't look for Firewire to re-emerge on the iPod.

I'm another person who needs capacity as my present 20GB 2G iPod is full and I probably have another 10GB of music. As soon as Job started talking about the iPod Classic, I had a sinking feeling about the Touch iPod, which proved correct. I h…

tonton, what I enjoy about your posts is that there's no middle ground. Everything is either crap or excellent. Traditional film SLR makers have had a hard time making the transistion from film to digital. Minolta, at one time one of the big thr…

Whatever. We'll see on Wednesday.

While weekly and Y-T-D sales figures are interesting, It's going to be especially noteworthy seeing this year's October, November and December ones to see if B-D continues its almost 70% to 30% lead or if HD-DVD can cut B-D's lead to say 55% to 45%.…

Hey, I know HD formats sales numbers are open for debate, but has HD/BD sales reach a 1% level yet compared to SD-DVD?
