The LG Dual Format player may get canned before ever being released. The
DVD Forum will not give the player certification because it does not support
iHD. Without certification from the DVD Forum, LG cannot publically claim
the player supports HD-DVD.
Microsoft is also rather upset at LG for announcing the player without
telling them first. According to the Microsoft rep on the DVD Forum, the
Forum could decide to persue legal action against LG if they do attempt to
sell the player. No response from LG on this issue yet. With the threat of
legal action from the DVD Forum and Microsoft, I'd be surprised if the
player goes on sale during the 1st quarter of 2007 as planned, and perhaps
at all unless they find a way to come to agreement with the HD-DVD camp and
include iHD.
