What bothers me about Blu-ray in geenral is that there isnt quite the discernible jump in quality like there was from VHS to DVD, especially on an upscaled DVD on a HD TV. Maybe im not enough of a "geek" but Its hard for me to justify the purchase of a new player and the more expensive Titles on Bluray at the moment. I think it will eventually take over, but not at the speed that DVD did.

Android (G1) wasn't even out when they were preparing this for press I'm sure. Apple iPhone does NOT have the lead in cell phone/email/games/camera all in one pocket...can I point you to the Symbian or Windows Mobile platforms...they all have a much bigger piece of the pie than iPhone does. Re Blu-ray...we haven't even had one holiday season where Blu-ray was the choice to make...last year's holidays were confused by HD DVD and Blu-ray...calling for its death now seems premature.
