 Toshiba confirms US HD DVD delay 
 By Tony Smith 
 Published Friday 30th September 2005 10:35 GMT 
 
 "Toshiba yesterday confirmed its next-generation optical disc format, HD   
 DVD, will not launch in the US until "February or March". The technology   
 had previously been expected to hit the market before the end of this   
 year." 
 
 
 Toshiba Hints at HD-DVD Delay 
 Martyn Williams, IDG News Service 
 Wednesday, December 14, 2005 
 
 "A delay would be the second for HD-DVD. A year ago, the format backers 
 promised commercial availability of players in both Japan and the U.S.  
 before the end of 2005. Toshiba earlier this year pushed back the U.S.  
 launch until sometime in the first quarter of 2006." 
 
Every new product has technical issues that can delay its release.   It's 
nothing unique to Blu-Ray.
