    Bang & Olufsen drops HD DVD plans after Warner decision

    Danish tech company Bang & Olufsen had a small press reception yesterday evening at CES. I attended with a couple dozen others. In the question-answer session I asked about Blu-ray support since no HD DVD or BD players had been announced (although players from both sides had been used in their demos of their new displays).

    Peter Petersen, B&O's Chief Technology Officer, said they had been planning on making a combo player but after Friday's Warner's announcement they have dropped plans to include HD DVD and now will develop only a BD player. He said it would be available in 2009.

    Edit: Update to include name of B&O spokesperson.

    Good news that they are doing something with Blu-ray, not so good news it's 2009 (that could be end of 2009!).

    Seen some of the posts about B&O on that Blu-ray forum? Seen the posts that state that B&O spend all the time and money producing well designed objects, but lack audio quality. Amazing.

    I am really delighted that B&O will come out with a Blu-ray player.  I hope they will have a Blu-ray player in the Beovision 7.

    I also read the remarks in the Blu-ray forum.  I think some of those people don't get out of the house too much.
