@peter0328 Because there's no point in having a device that plays 1080P when you're 2 feet away from it. Because this doubles a standalone Blu-Ray player (wifi?), it's actually useful. And hopefully not 500$.
Yea, since Apple apparently has no interest in a blu-ray MacBook Pro, I'm interested in the new Panasonic models. Can't wait for Amazon to list the 500. Oh, and Steve, you can shove that "bag of hurt" up your ass.
@Special Agent Steve You realize that a 10" screen at two feet is equivalent to a 50" screen at 10 feet right? At any distance less than 3.5 feet you will be able to make out more detail than you would on a DVD; at less than two feet you will be able to make out more detail than 720p; and at 1.3 feet you will be able to make out every pixel.
Would 720p be adequate? Sure, but to say it's pointless is just dumb.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.

What's been taking so long for portable Blu-ray players to be released?
Nobody wants to have to re-buy their movies on DVD just so they are portable....
