Question to insiders:

At CES, Toshiba's execs were conspicuously missing. For instance, Sony and Panasonic sent their chairmen to give presentations. However, Toshiba did not even have Mr. Fujii, the person who's generally considered the driving force behind HD-DVD. In fact, Japanese news is reporting that Mr. Fujii cancelled his trip.

I believe it is very unusual for a corporation the size of Toshiba to not have a single person from headquarters at CES. Are there any rumblings in the industry regarding possible "new directions" Toshiba is considering, maybe without Mr. Fujii?
