Since when does Toshiba Gigabeat = Samsung?

Oh, I see, reading comprehension problems...

If you really need your "FlAC love", just check out Samsung's cross town rival Cowon. They will hook you up!]]>Nov 9th 2006 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/toshibas-gigabeat-v60-launched/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/toshibas-gigabeat-v60-launched/
Lest we forget, the Sega Dreamcast. Microsoft funded the development of the system in exchange for Sega agreeing to use Windows CE as the game system's OS. Then, after NEC kicked up a fuss with Microsoft, Microsoft instructed Sega to dump 3dfx - a company that Sega had an equity stake in - as the system's graphics chip source in favor of using NEC's PowerVR chips. This involved a breach of contract which led to a major lawsuit between 3dfx and Sega.

What did Microsoft get out of all of it? Experience in making a Windows based game system and taking out one of the largest videogame companies which Microsoft would have competed with naturally when the company entered the console gaming industry.

Toshiba will be Microsoft's next partnering victim (or maybe its Novell). Microsoft is using Toshiba as a proxy to try to severely weaken Sony. Microsoft is counting on Toshiba hurting Blu-Ray by selling their HD DVD players for a loss in order to get marketshare and hopefully win the format war so Sony is crippled. In exchange for Microsoft's support, HD DVD uses Microsoft's iHD software and the premiere codec of choice is Microsoft's VC-1. At the same time, Microsoft is muscling into the MP3 player market which will shove the Gigabeat out of the way but as a consolation, Microsoft contracted with Toshiba to build the Zune for them...for now. Wait a couple of years and some other company will get the contract (a la the "Stinger" debacle) and Toshiba will be left high-and-dry.]]>Nov 9th 2006 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/toshibas-gigabeat-v60-launched/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/toshibas-gigabeat-v60-launched/Nov 9th 2006 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/toshibas-gigabeat-v60-launched/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/toshibas-gigabeat-v60-launched/Nov 9th 2006 3:27PM
