How is Toshiba's HD player production rate/supply going?

I think we all see that HD DVD players seem to be in short supply at our local retailers - but is this due to all the great new marketing/promotions/pricing that Toshiba has going for HD DVD players or could this also be because Toshiba just still hasn't been able to manufacture and ship the players that quickly?

I'm wondering what your opinion/knowledge is on Toshiba's current player production/supply practices are...

Are the laser diode shortages and other production problems now a long-gone concern? Is Toshiba currently shipping a ton of units to all major retailers or what?

So, in general, they are somewhat easily or normally meeting demand and able to fill new orders quickly then?

I live in Jacksonville, FL - and there always only seem to be either no or only one HD DVD players available in all the vast amount of electronics stores in area. We have 3 Best Buys and 2 Circuit Cities, many others. To me, it seems that either the HD DVD players are selling out in mass quantities rather quickly or that a few get sold every now and then only to take forever to replenish that missing stock on shelves. I don't know which it is...

Let me ask these two questions: What were the latest numbers on HD DVD players total sold to date? AND By how much is/has HD DVD stand-alones been outselling BD stand-alones?
