Its mildly disingenuous for some of you to suggest or believe that Sony and Sony alone are the sole force driving the Blu-ray format. Certainly some of you hate Sony with a fiery passion, but just because they support Blu-ray doesnt mean that its a bad format or anything. All things being equal (namely video compression algorithm,) why wouldnt your inner geek support the format that stores more? Nevermind that HD-DVD discs being cheaper to manufacture clearly PR smokescreen anyway if any of you believe that HD-DVD discs are going to cost less at the store than equivalent Blu-ray discs in the short-term, be prepared for a nice surprise.
Remember, other companies you *do* like, like Panasonic, Samsung, Dell, HP, and Apple, are Blu-ray backers too (shocking, I know.) Sure its fun to think of Sony as the evil empire but that just isnt the case this time around. Get your bias off.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.
