Toshiba To Offer Laptops With HD-DVD in 2005

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-about-the-sound dept.

LBArrettAnderson writes "Toshiba will release laptops with HD-DVD under its high-end Qosmio brand and plans to ship one million units in the first year to Europe, the U.S. and China, as well as Japan. The company claims the slimline HD-DVD format is more suitable to laptop PCs than the rival Blu-ray Disc format."

    From the article: "The structure of the HD-DVD format is similar to the current DVD format, which enables us to cost the new PC at a price similar to currently available models," Toshiba spokeswoman Junko Furuta said.

    What marketroid told them that a near-miss for Quasimodo was a good brand name? Hmpf! ``Qosmio'' indeed.
