It has been a practice on the list for the last five years to share any news item related to technology. And this is not some high end techy device. Quite soon, most of us would be using one of these HD DVD players in our desktop machines.
If you think that this is useless, what use is your question on a kannada newspaper from Delhi? I am sure, no one apart from you would even want to care about a newspaper from Delhi. Be flexible in your thinking when you are in a group. Then, you can derive maximum benefits.

Vikas Kapoor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Toshiba Readies New HD DVD Players The devices, which will be available soon, will offer better picture quality than earlier models. Martyn Williams, IDG News Service Toshiba will soon put its second generation of HD DVD players on sale in the U.S. The Tokyo company kicked off the high-definition movie battle in the U.S. earlier this year when it put its first generation of HD DVD players on sale. They were soon followed by a machine from Samsung Electronics for the rival Blu-ray Disc format. Both formats use optical discs the same size as a CD or DVD, but use blue lasers to cram much more data onto the discs. However, Blu-ray and HD DVD are incompatible, and the different companies behind each format are vying for the favor of consumers. To date many consumers seem cool in their reaction to the rival formats and are sitting on the sidelines until a winner is crowned. New and Improved The more expensive of Toshiba's two new players, the HD-XA2, packs several new features that should mean a better picture if you have the right TV and content. The player generates output at up to 1080p, which is the highest of several levels of high-definition picture, and has the latest version of the HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) standard. HDMI version 1.3 increases the color depth from 24 bits to 36 bits for deeper colors in images, but you'll need a compatible TV to realize the benefit. The HD-A2 will be available from October for $500 and the HD-XA2 will go on sale in December for $1000, said Toshiba. That means there's no change in the price of Toshiba's cheapest HD DVD player but there is an increase of $200 in the price of the high-end model from the current $800 price tag for the HD-XA1. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,127149-pg,1-RSS,RSS/article.html Vikas Kapoor, MSN ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype ID: dl_vikas Mobile: (+91) 9891098137.
