Hi All,

The following companies had BD on show at CES. Most of these were their prototype video players - points of interest noted...

LG
Samsung - also had a mock up of a BD computer drive
Pioneer
Sony - Called it BD-ROM, handled the dual layer discs, no cartridge!

It seems that Sony were keen to get the system out in Japan but for the US they are waiting until they have the dual layer working and also are touting no cartridge for the US market.

Also of note, Toshiba and NEC were showing video and computer drives (respectively) of their competing blue laser technology (they called it HD-DVD).

Cheers!
DAve.
