HD DVD Takes the Lead, Customer Service Matters
Toshiba has announced that it will begin selling HD DVD recorders next month in Japan, with an MSRP of $3,470, says the AP (via Yahoo). The company isn't sure when the recorder will launch overseas, but they hope to sell 10,000 units by the end of 2006.
Why is that so important? By the end of 2006, and Toshiba has the market cornered on HD DVD players and recorders, Sony's Blu-ray player will have only been in the market for two months. Yes, the Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray player, supposed to be released on August 15, has now been delayed until October 25, according to a note on the SonyStyle Web site (via HDBeat).
More Vonage news today: a company spokeswoman says that the VoIP provider is "not toast," despite cash hemorrhages, the poor IPO performance and a suit from Verizon. "You need to look at customer churn, acquisition costs, and operating losses together to build the business model. My conclusion is we have a healthy business here," says spokeswoman Brooke Schulz.
