Too bad the report doesn't have even the slightest idea on when the release might happen. The industry needs them sooner than later.

Funai is a first rate OEM. I believe Funai is the OEM for my Denon DVD-1920 universal player. The player appears to me to be on a par with the Winbase Electronics manufactured DVD players for Oppo and others. Based on the equipment I can track down a manufacturer for, I trust Funai and I believe the company owns the Sylvania name for consumer electronics now and isn't just the OEM. This is good news, I had hoped for a reputable Chinese OEM to be the manufacturer when Blu-ray players start showing up made in China by a mass market OEM. I know Funai and the other companies have made some junk, but I am confident these players will be good.
This is the best news I have seen yet since I still hold out hope for an end to the stupid format war. Chris |

According to this page in Funai's financial report Blu-ray's should be available by years end.
http://www.funaiworld.com/investors/...df/ks_e554.pdf Nearly 79% of Funai's business is in N. America (pg.5) and the inclusion of blu-ray by the end of '07 is on pg. 24. Sounds like they're serious.

While the format war is responsible for bringing us low prices, it is also ensuring that we will have 3 formats moving forward. Actually, If the single sided HD-DVD's come to fruition, then we may just end up with 2 formats some day. But we'll always have a minimum of two. Thinking anything else is just denial. |
