I don't think we have much to worry about. A clear direction is always a good one, then again if they stuff up they can always blame the "Current Economic Climate" (hands up all those bored silly by that tired old phrase being an excuse to do anything stupid these days).
I think a lot has happened, they were a bit slow off the mark on DVB for both satelite and ariel users. Other than that Nothing too much to worry about. After all everyone's favorite Steve Jobs has said they're not putting blue ray in apple yet as licensing is a nightmare and they're still looking at where the market is going, and that was only yesterdays comment.
So hey putting blueray in BV7 as an option well that's certainly an sensible option.
Let's just hope they start bringing out products that a) people want and b) actually make sense.
IMHO - lets do whats right for B&O - What Apple do is for them to worry about. The iPod will fade into insignificance, as did the Walkman, the computer has become a generic Intel box, regardless of what Apple tell you! Artists are releasing their downloadable output digitally in open source FLAC format - High Def. Audio suppliers (Linn Audio etc) are also supplying high def. audio in FLAC format, meanwhile Apple's lossless format is proprietary to their software/hardware ..... God bless them................ buy my hardware, use my software............ that's the way forward!
They will fall on their face come the age of the hat!
These are words of wisdom!
Agree completely!
