Blu-ray finally?
January 3rd 2008
Quoting Apple analyst of record Shaw Wu, MacUser UK reports that Apple will recommit Blu-ray, Sony's version of the DVD supporting hi-def content.
"Our sources indicate that Apple will outline is high-definition video strategy with the support of Blu-ray," said Wu in a paper delivered this morning. "We believe this is a key announcement as current Macs ship with DVD and Sony gains a strong ally in Blu-ray."
However, he continued by saying that the mothership may also build Macs with hybrid Blu-ray / HD-DVD optical drives installed.
Wu didn't offer a timeline on when Blu-ray-equipped Macs would be available.
Apple first announced commitment to Blu-ray way, way back in March '05.
Editor's note: Perhaps the external optical drive shipping rumored for release with the rumored ultra-portable will be Blu-ray? That would certainly grab a few headlines...
What's your take?
available in silver, blue, green and pink, only $99!
