An interesting article that talks about Toshiba's possible next moves.

It will be interesting to see what route they take. If they have warehouses full of kit I'm guessing they will try to milk it for all its worth. Another interesting point raised was the nameless analysts predictions that it is a very slow moving market with comparatively small sales numbers.

What would be interesting to see is whether the latest news will drive increased sales of HD TV sets and Blu-ray players. Remember it is pointless having either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray if your set can't display the output in the way it was intended. Most plasma and LCD sets sold to date do not support full 1080p HD TV anyway so anyone who has anything less is not getting the full picture.
