Before we dive into what the speculators are saying, here’s SanDisk’s statement on the issue:

“SanDisk periodically has conversations with multiple parties, including Samsung, regarding a variety of potential business opportunities. We evaluate all of these opportunities, but maintain a policy of not commenting on market rumors or speculation.”

So the massive rumor SanDisk is talking about is the one where Samsung purchases them, and royally screws over Toshiba. If this happens Samsung will be the top dog in flash memory (they’re already close). They’ll also have their hands on the many patents owned by SanDisk. If this rumor is true this could reshape the flash memory market.

Praise the AV gods! Finally, after Yamaha, Marantz, Integra and Sharp all introduced ‘new’ Blu-ray players that support the old Blu-ray standard Profile 1.1, there is a new, high-end Blu-ray player that sports Blu-ray Profile 2.0; that means the NAD T 587 supports BD Live. Surprisingly though, this player hasn’t been announced yet, and no one at the NAD booth wanted to speak about the unit. So all we know is what the fact card states: Profile 2.0, BD Live, 1080p24/60, with a MSRP of $1,499. No word on which distribution channels the T 587 is going to ride on, nor when the player will be available but if more info comes our way, we’ll hit ya up.
