Maker of printer ink HP is threatening that unless there is a change to the new Blu-ray standard it may support HD-DVD. HP has been backing Blu-ray from the beginning, but as the standards war between the two standards hots up, HP says it wants Blu-ray to include more features for PC makers and users.
Gerry Kaufhold, an analyst with In-Stat, said that if Blu-ray makers include the technologies requested by HP, it would further put the ball in Blu-ray’s court. “The PC industry can play an active part in pushing High Definition forward if Blu-ray includes these items,” said Gerry Kaufhold, an analyst with In-Stat.
