Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
After beating Blu-ray to the market in the US and Japan by months, Toshiba looks determined to make it accessible to European consumers in November ahead of the release of Sony's PlayStation 3, which will also be released in November. However, Samsung looks set to beat the pair to the starting line in Europe, when it launches its Blu-ray player on the Continent in October.
The bad news for residents of Europe is that players of both high
definition video formats are likely to be even more expensive than they
currently are in the US.
For some consumers, their best bet will be to take advantage of the
heavily subsidised prices of games consoles in November, with full
featured Blu-ray players available with PS3 consoles for US$599 and
Xbox 360 consoles plus an add-on HD DVD player likely to be available
for around the same price.
However, it may be difficult for consumers everywhere to get their
hands on games console high definition video solution during 2006
because of demand exceeding supply, especially in the case of PS3,
where production ramp has been slow.
While the competing high definition formats jockey for position in
Europe, disc-maker TDK is doing its best to widen the storage gap
between the two formats. TDK, which is a Blu-ray supporter, has already
produced rewritable 50GB Blu-ray discs and now has reportedly produced
200GB prototype disc.
