"Worst of all, mum's the word on when/whether Samsung plans on making a 1.1 spec player available."

"The silver lining to this December delay could be twofold: the unit will be at least up to BD 1.1 spec conformance"

These two statements contradict one-another.]]>Oct 1st 2007 1:26PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/Oct 1st 2007 1:33PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/Oct 1st 2007 1:35PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/

"Der BD-UP5000 unterstützt als bislang einiger Standalone-Player die interaktiven Fähigkeiten beider HD-Formate: iHD für HD-DVD und BD-Java (BD-J Profile v1.0) für Blu-ray. Sowohl bei HD-DVD als auch Blu-ray Disc soll es möglich sein, über einen Internetzugang via Netzwerkanschluss weitere Inhalte zu laden. Die Schnittstelle kann auch für Software-Updates genutzt werden."

Translated from German says;
"The BD-UP5000 supports the interactive abilities of both hp formats as so far some Standalone Player: iHD for HD-DVD and BD-Java (BD-J of profiles v1.0) for Blu ray. Both with HD-DVD and Blu ray Disc should be possible it to load over an Internet entrance via network connection further contents. The interface can be used also for software updates."

I'm also wondering where that German release came from. Did it come directly from SamsungUSA? Just curious as I am becoming more and more confused.

I'm certain I've seen a Samsung Germany press release which stated the BDP5000 was profile 1.0 (though there is the possibility that this is a translation quirk as the correct term for profile 1.1 is, apparantly, "Profile 1.0 Final Standard Profile".

This has been debated ad infinitum on avs (I see you are there and contributing).

Ther have been comments about what the chip will and will not do - Luma Keying seems open to question (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=828109&page=24).

Right now I'd say it's open to question (which is what I said originally)......although unless the standard itself gets another delay (which is hardly an off-the-wall possibility......it has been set back 4 or 5 times already) it's going to have to be by the time they eventually get it to market.]]>Oct 1st 2007 7:24PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/Oct 1st 2007 7:50PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/Oct 2nd 2007 11:20AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/
Far more likely IMO are continuing problems with getting profile 1.1 and profile 2.0 discs and players working properly with the existing profile 1.0 discs and players.

.....or they know that even worse news for Blu-ray is coming?]]>Oct 2nd 2007 7:12PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/01/samsung-pulls-plug-on-bdp-2400-delays-bd-up5000/
