Are DVDs ALREADY on their way out? It seems like they JUST came in, and it's just recently they stopped releasing every movie that came out in both DVD and VCR form.
Blu Ray is Sony's HD-DVD version, which because of liscensing bS by Sony will be not used, and the standard HD-DVD (already available in the Porn Industry) will be used.

And HD-DVD will win. Oddly, experience has shown us that whichever format the Porn Industry embraces will be the format the general public embraces: VHS, the switch to DVDs, and now the switch to HD-DVD is coming.

I hope you're not including ME in that "we".

I'm never anything but a perfect angel.

I don't plan on getting one of these for several reasons:

1) I'm too cheap
2) sometimes I like to "disconnect"- I don't want to be able to check my voicemail, e-mail, and play music all at the same time when I am at the park with my kids.

side story- we took our boys camping a few weeks ago, and a guy at the campsite next to us was sitting at the picnic table with his laptop out. Not sure if he was somehow able to get internet, but still- 9am on a Saturday at a state park campground and he is typing on a computer!

3) I don't use half the features on the Treo phone that work makes me carry around, so I am pretty sure I wouldn't use most of the features on an iphone.

I don't know about that because Blockbuster announced a few weeks ago that they would be carrying Blu-Ray movies, NOT HD-DVDs in their stores.

Umm no it's not just a different version of HD-DVD. Don't talk about things you don't understand. The two products offer different advantages over each other, namely price vs. capacity.

And the real reason DVD is being killed is not just because of the HD issue but more because of the encryption/copyright issues that are floating. It's the reason why no upconverting DVD player plays copyrighted movies through composite connections but through HDMI. BR and HD-DVD have much more complex encryption schemes.

And stop spouting BS about the porn industry.
