I am curious how they're going to "rival Apple" today though if not with a BR related announcement.

They're going to announce a new video codec that can compress any 1080p movie down to 100 K bytes to allow for <5 second downloading, even on dial-up connections.  The only problem is they still haven't gotten the decompression component working...

 

 They could do something like that using R3Dcode - too bad you need a quadcore to play it at 60fps

 Yeah, but what kind of processor would be required for movie playing? I was under the impression that the standard for HD films was 24fps.
