We're not sure if we'll see HD-DVD players integrated in to HDTV sets like LG has done with hard drives, but you never
know. What's even more interesting about Toshiba and LG sharing optical disk patents is that Toshiba has an HD-DVD
player coming soon, while LG will be one of the first
to market with a Blu-Ray player. Is this the beginning of the end for the Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD format war or do these
two figure they can work together in both markets and come out on top? Both companies claim the deal is to help bring
products to market quicker, but the interesting aspect is that neither of them states which specific products. Any
thoughts, speculation or rampant rumors out there?
