Toshiba Concedes Defeat in the DVD Battle - New York Times

Toshiba Concedes Defeat in the DVD Battle - New York Times: "The biggest consumer electronic format war in a generation is officially over.

Toshiba, the Japanese electronics giant, threw in the towel on its HD DVD technology Tuesday, announcing that it would no longer develop, produce or market disc players for the format. In doing so, it ceded victory to Sony’s competing Blu-ray format, which now looks set to become the global standard for high-definition DVDs."
