LG BH100Every year, CNET grants awards to their pet tech from the CES. Their Best of Show this year goes to the versatile LG BH100, the first disc player with both Blu-ray and HD DVD capabilities. The player will be available in February at such retail outlets as Circuit City and Best Buy for $1,999.00. This is especially good news for those of us who, back in the “old days” actually purchased a Betamax, because it truly was the best of its kind, but phased out much too quickly. We’re hoping that other companies will join in on this video bandwagon and realize it is better to compromise rather than start a tech war.

Apple TV

Steve Jobs has just announced that iTV has become Apple TV. For those keeping count feature-wise, this thing has USB 2.0, WiFi, HDMI, Component, digital audio, etc. It also has a built-in 40GB hard drive, allowing you to store content directly on the device. Steve made sure to note that the Apple TV is powered by an Intel chip, along with an 802.11 b/g/n wireless antenna. While we were hoping for 1080p support, we knew it was a long shot. However, we do get HDTV support at 720p. The Apple TV can sync with one of your computers, but can stream content from five others. The interface is very close to what you see in Front Row, but obviously upgraded. The Apple TV ships in February, and will retail for $299 USD - available for pre-order now.
