dinkie-- IMHO neither samsung nor toshiba will come out with a player until the format has legs; DP's only hope (and even then the odds will be long) is if MTV/evolution and RIO come out with players AND heavily market the DP format in conjunction with a major camera company also coming out with a DP camera:
DataPlay digital media is a creative, exciting technology that we expect will make a huge impact on the way people use and store digital content not only with digital cameras, but all consumer electronics," said Yusuke Kojima, Division Manager, Olympus Optical Co., LTD. "We view DataPlay as an integral part of our efforts to incorporate advanced technologies that let our customers get more use and enjoyment out of Olympus products."
However, as we all have come to learn again and again:
TALK IS CHEAP!!!
o/w good buddy MH is probably correct.
remember JC/edig not counting on DP revenues-- i think this also sends a loud message. DP's odds for success are probably less than 5%.
