Toshiba Corp. announced today it will introduce laptop computers with HD DVD technology in December 2005, aiming to pressure rivals in the battle over formats for next-generation DVDs. Toshiba also plans to launch HD DVD players and recorders in the last quarter of 2005. The new laptops will be released under its "Qosmio" brand, and will play regular DVDs and CDs in addition to HD DVDs.
This move comes after the group led by Toshiba and NEC announced they aim to convince Microsoft that HD DVD is the best next-generation optical disc format to use in the Xbox successor. Source: TeamXbox.com
