Samsung coming up with new Blu Ray?

[Audio5oh]

So far, I've only seen the Samsung BD-P1400 and BD-UP5000 as their most recent units. Are they coming up with any new blu ray players later this year?

BD-P1500 in June. From the press release:

BD-P1500 – Fourth-generation Blu-ray Player
As the first company to introduce a stand-alone Blu-ray player, Samsung reinforces its support of the Blu-ray format with the Full HD BD-P1500. An ideal player for anyone who enjoys Blu-ray, DVDs or CDs in their home, this groundbreaking model takes the home viewing experience to the next step and accommodates all of these formats in one unit. What’s more, it can upconvert standard DVDs to 720p, 1080i and 1080p resolutions and offers Full HD video playback capabilities for a crystal-clear picture.

Designed with fans of multimedia technology in mind, the BD-P1500 easily connects to other digital peripherals through an HDMI 1.3 port with CEC for expanded color delivery and easy home theater control. With its built-in Ethernet connection, users can quickly take advantage of BD Profile 1.1 interactivity and download the latest firmware upgrades and more with just a click of a button. Making firmware upgrades simple and easy, Samsung allows consumers to continually upgrade their BD-P1500 with the latest features.

True audiophiles will love the BD-P1500 as it goes beyond standard Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus audio playback to include 7.1 PCM, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution and Master Audio, Bitstream audio output via HDMI and more—making for a truly immersive viewing experience for movies, gaming, sports and more.

Quiety they are...

However for now they're remaining hush and just said they're devoting more money to Bluray if I remember correctly.

I love Samsung so I hope their next player is announced soon and its excellent. However given their track record when it comes to Bluray (and Bluray only) I'm a lil skeptical...

Right now I'm excited for the future Panasonic and Oppo players...

No BD live, and no on-board decoding for Dolby True-HD or DTS-MA
No more Samsung players for me!
The soon to be released Panasonic DMP-BD50 and Sony BDS550 do EVERYTHING ... that's where I'm going!
