Page 1 of 2 ! BD Touch promises two way communication between Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch and compatible Blu-ray players such as the Sony PlayStation 3.  Netblender have introduced BD Touch, a iPhone and iPod Touch application enabling the two-way communication of Blu-ray data. So the iPhone and Touch are now portable Blu-ray players. Other useful features listed on the Netblender website include: * Pushing digital copies of movies to an iPhone from the Blu-ray disc menu. * Automatically cataloguing a viewer’s Blu-ray disc collection and providing movie suggestions * Updating and managing a viewer’s rental queue * Displaying trivia and extra information about a movie in sync with the movie's playback * Turning existing Blu-ray discs into games that use the iPhone as the game controller * Viewing fan-created content in sync with the disc The website also shows a couple of spiffy videos of an iPhone synching with the Blu-ray player, transferring information and all in a timely manner. Compatible Blu-ray players that can utilise the BD Touch interface are listed here , essentially they are those that have the correct Blu-ray ‘profile’.  Specifically the player must have at least Profile 1.1, released in models post November 1st 2007. The Sony PlayStation 3 is listed amongst the 'fully featured' players. There is –of course – a small catch to all this Apple – Blu-ray shenanigans.  See page two for more << First page <   1 2 Next page > Last page - Post your comment >>
