| Toshiba Finally Forays into Blue-ray Market |
|
|
|
Tokyo, July 31, 2009 (JCN) - Toshiba may finally be launching its own Blu-ray player. Toshiba, which lost the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray battle in early 2008, is reportedly readying a player that will read both Blu-ray discs and DVDs and will appear in stores by year's end.
Toshiba had been thinking of developing yet another technology to combat Blu-ray but gave up because of the huge growing market for Blu-ray players and discs. The company will start with play-only models but may consider a recordable Blu-ray player if market demand calls for it, according to local newspaper.
Toshiba's entry into the Blu-ray arena would mark the last holdout among all the major electronics manufacturers.
