IFA 2005, which is the world's largest consumer electronics and IT show, was
recently held from September 2-7 in Berlin, Germany. We were of course there to check
out the latest Blu-ray (not Bluray, Blueray or Blue-ray) products on display. Companies
that were showing Blu-ray related products included CyberLink, DTS, Hitachi, HP, JVC, LG,
Nero, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Samsung, Sharp, Sonic, Sony, TDK, Yamaha and Verbatim.
We were impressed by both the wide range of products on display as well as how advanced
and functional they have become. For more information and lots of photos, please check out
our IFA 2005 report. To discuss the new Blu-ray players, recorders, writers, drives and
media, check out the
Blu-ray Forum.
