Christopher Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 It looks like nothing for Hi-MD will be announceed at CES. I would expect new units to arrive in Febuary/March, as part of Sony's Spring Opener Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I've talked to a close associate of Rachel Branch [who is presenting the portable audio @ CES] today on the phone and she has noted that it is unlikely to see any new models at CES. Note I say models. I have been hearing alot of chit-chat down the grapevine from my contacts about some other developments for Hi-MD that should be announced this month [i assume CES], but I'm starting to think that won't happen until Feb/March.

Christopher Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Sure, but saying them? Well, I don't want to start any fires..if I knew for sure, yes, I would say, but no, I am not 100% sure on what I'm hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Peter Rojas, an associate of mine and the guy who runs engadget, is talking to a Sony exec probably at this moment [CES] about Sony in '05. He said he'd inquire about Hi-MD for me. I'll keep y'all informed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latexxx Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 (edited) any idea of what kind of developments?←Some facts:- Current Hi-MD models have stickers on them which say "Hi-MD audio"- Manuals state that the disc are playable in units marked with "Hi-MD audio" or "hi-MD"- Sony has been approved to use MagicGate Type-R for Hi-MD when it comes to recording video content equipped with broadcast flag in dtv/hdtv.

Christopher Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I just got an e-mail from Peter stating:I specifically asked Sony when I checked out their booth, and they said they had nothing new. All of Sony was a little slow, I think they're deemphasizing CES or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
