Apple to soon ship Macs with Blu-ray players?

Apple computers and laptops, over the last few years, have become very trendy and "cool" to have. Perhaps it's their stability, their operating system, or their battery life (something this poor old laptop could use more of). Wall Street analyst Shaw Wu has caught wind of some reports stating that next-gen video support has been decided in favor of Blu-ray and future computers will ship with players built in.

Since Wu is also an analyst, there was a little guesswork involved, as the official announcement will come at the Macworld Expo later this month. Perhaps, Wu offered, Apple will have combo drives — support for both Blu-ray and HD DVD. But Apple has joined the Blu-ray Disc Association. In the end, it's anyone's guess until the big Expo, but from what we understand, Apple may be leaning towards the Blu.
