"According to an internal memo sent by an LG executive to the company�s US sales force, LG is dropping plans to introduce its first Blu-ray player, the BD199, which was originally planned for this spring (and which the company was proudly showing off at CES just two months ago) due to �uncertainty in this early stage of the market for pre-recorded high-definition optical discs.� Instead, the company will consider developing a dual-format player, which could be available as early as the fall."
How do you keep from losing a race? Bet on both horses. I wonder which company will drop hints about a combo player next.
