Samsung: Christmas in July!
Samsung shows off upcoming holiday products that aren’t set to launch until the 2007 holiday season, including its own HD DVD/Blu-ray disc player, the Samsung device can play both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs. However, the Duo HD Player will be able to play both formats’ interactive menus, a shortcoming of LG’s SuperMulti Blue. The player begins shipping for $1,049 at the end of October. FYI, it’s still cheaper to buy one HD DVD player and one Blu-ray player and glue them together.
The Samsung Q1 Ultra gets a solid-state drive. The result is battery life is also boosted from 4.5 hours to 8 hours. Somewhere between a smart phone and a laptop PC, UMPCs have yet to find widespread acceptance with consumers, but perhaps the lower $799 price point will help move more units this fall….
