My recap of CES for www.beyond3d.com:

Alright alright, I can dig it.

Finally, an unbiased report! Puts some of the others to shame.

Cheers,

Grant

Good summary of the show, more detail than the AP.

great organization, I thought it was very fair to both sides (objectivity is rare). I especially liked the ending quote by Nickerson. It seems like we all have some waiting on our hands, hopefully the studios oblige us with some quality material to pass the time.

Very well done Robert!

If the Samsung is going to have the Realta chip that is going to be a very nice feature.

Very good summation and well written.

Nicely done! You hit the major points of the show without the spin. Congrats!

Excellent article.

-Robert

Someone who saw both the positive Blu Ray points AND the positive HD-DVD ones.

Inconceivable!

Good job, man.

Nicely written covering a lot of fronts.

Nice work. About as neutral as I can imagine being.

Good job Robert. This could replace 95% of the wasteless threads on this forum.

I agree. Excellent article.

very very nice article Robert. very well written, looking forward to more articles of yours.

That was an excellent article. Good writing.

Best summary yet.

I agree!

Good to see an article that provides a good factual summary instead of sensationalistic nonsense.

Nice article. Only thing that bothered me a bit was the there was HD-DVD 51GB discs mentioned and nothing about BD 100GB or 200GB discs. But then again I'm just bit biased towards BD

Great article!

This seems to be the one thing that people from both camps can agree on

You, sir, have produced the most objective, unbiased article I've read so far in regards to CES. Good job!

Excellent article! Good job of maintaining objectivity

Very objective, kudos to you. I had the pleasure of meeting a few members of AVS at CES, wish I could have met you.

Sorry to provide a correction in this sea of congratulations, Robert, but your paragraph regarding BD-Live is incorrect:

BD-Live is not a more advanced form of BD-J. All players have the exact same BD-J support. The difference is whether hardware support is present for networking and local storage (which is primarily intended for storing A/V; all BD players must have persistent storage for bookmarks and such). Also, BD-Live isn't mandatory (ever, as far as I know). Secondary video and 256MB of local storage become mandatory in June; BD-Live will always be an option, though I expect most players will support it.

Beyond this correction I agree the article is quite objectively written.

Is PiP a function of BD-J?

Secondary video (typically referred to here as "real PiP") can be accessed from HDMV or from BD-J API's.
