I stumbled across this article this morning and I was wondering if any of you think there might be any truth to this?
http://www.thestreet.com/s/analyst-..._googlen?cm_ven=GOOGLEN&cm_cat=FREE&cm_ite=NA
I've heard rumors about blu-ray being the choice for Apple over hddvd in the past but as we're approaching the next Macworld expo this piqued my interest.
The article does suggest that Apple will choose to go with a blu ray/hddvd combo drive.
By the way, I searched to see if this had been posted already this morning but didn't find anything. If it has please feel free to remove it with my apologies.

I've heard rumors about blu-ray being the choice for Apple over hddvd in the past but as we're approaching the next Macworld expo this piqued my interest.
Apple (AAPL - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) is taking sides in the hotly contested high-definition video format war by snubbing HD-DVD in favor of Sony's (SNE - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) Blu-ray, according to one analyst.
"Our sources indicate that Apple will outline its high-definition video strategy with the support of Blu-ray as opposed to HD-DVD," American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu wrote in a preview of the upcoming MacWorld conference Jan. 15.
Wu calls the move a big win for Sony's video business and notes that Disney (DIS - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) supports Blu-ray, while Microsoft (MSFT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) is firmly camped in Toshiba's competing HD-DVD format.
The article does suggest that Apple will choose to go with a blu ray/hddvd combo drive.
But it's likely that Apple will want to avoid the format battle and at some point use a combination Blu-ray/HD-DVD drive in future computers, wrote Wu.
