In a move that everyone saw coming, Toshiba seems to be giving up the ghost on HD-DVD.
What is surprising to me, though, is that there were no whispers of this at CES. It seems like it had been in planning since Warner dumped HD-DVD, so one would think rumours would have spread then.

Toshiba Corp is planning to give up on its HD DVD format for high definition DVDs, conceding defeat to the competing Blu-Ray technology backed by Sony Corp, a company source said on Saturday.
The move will likely put an end to a battle that has gone on for several years between consortiums led by Toshiba and Sony vying to set the standard for the next-generation DVD and compatible video equipment.
