Toshiba SED production hits another snag

Well, it looks like there's more than just "technical issues" holding up production of Toshiba's long-awaited SED TVs and keeping them away from this year's CES, with Japan Today reporting that a US lawsuit may now delay the construction of a plant to produce the high-end TV sets. The suit comes from US-based Nano-Proprietary, which had an agreement with Canon (Toshiba's partner in the SED biz), but apparently is not so keen on Canon sharing its patents with its new best buddy Toshiba. Exactly how much, if any, this latest development will delay Toshiba's planned late 2007 launch of its SED sets remains to be seen, though it sure wouldn't be the first time the launch date got pushed back.

Trying to almost singlehandedly hold up HD-DVD as is: Toshiba's plate is simply way too full.

While I have not witnessed SED, I am told that it is beyond any direct view product currently available, but was also told by same friend (works in Sony HQ UK) that they have been working on FED in conjunction with another as yet unnamed UK company. He says "it will blow your mind".
