Title: Blu-Ray v. HD-DVD II ? Post by: Fuzzy on January 10, 2008, 05:44:36 PM So......just saw this from the CES show. I happen to be involved in standards work in my job so it caught my eye. I seriously doubt Sony has a shot with this particular strategy but they like to be their own dog.:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22594777/ LAS VEGAS - The dream of eliminating the rat’s nest of wires connecting your computer to your printer and other peripherals could be turning into a nightmare. Even as the first wireless USB systems are reaching the market, drawing a lot of attention at the International Consumer Electronics Show this week, Sony Corp. has thrown a wrench into the works by unexpectedly announcing what looks very much like a competing, incompatible standard. The confusion comes as some of the biggest technology companies — including Intel Corp., Microsoft Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and Samsung Electronics — have created a format to cure one of the biggest headaches involved in running a computer.

Why hasn't anyone done anything about eliminating the bigger rat's nest behind all the A/V equipment? Title: Re: Blu-Ray v. HD-DVD II ? Post by: Aske on January 10, 2008, 05:57:15 PM *fiddlesticks*off $ony, seriously.

Going up against Intel, Microsoft and Samsung?? Not to mention everybody else who hooks in to a PC via USB that will get in line behind those gorillas. Title: Re: Blu-Ray v. HD-DVD II ?

Post by: GregS on January 10, 2008, 08:59:04 PM Wow, that is just dumb on Sony's part. This is not going to put a dent on the USB market should it materialize.
Title: Re: Blu-Ray v. HD-DVD II ? Post by: stroh on January 10, 2008, 09:04:01 PM [sm_dontknow] Doesn't this just open the door to some third party getting rich on making Sony to USB/wireless adapters?

This is not going to put a dent on the USB market should it materialize. perhaps they're invested in proprietary rechargable batteries for wireless usb devices as well Title: Re: Blu-Ray v. HD-DVD II ? Post by: lennyquai on January 10, 2008, 09:59:25 PM I believe my PS2 is the last Sony anything that I will purchase. It's the only thing in my house still Sony. When it dies, Sony dies in this household.
