Toshiba delays HD-DVD recorder launch – vnunet.com — Gee, shocking.
Toshiba’s hotly-awaited first HD-DVD recorder has had its launch date put back again, this time to ” late July”.
The world’s first high-definition optical disc recorder, the RD-A1, was due to go on sale in Japan on 14 July, but it seems that there aren’t enough recorders to go round.
Toshiba blames the slow delivery of components, leading to a smaller than expected supply of the machines.
However the electronics giant has not encountered any long-lasting problems such as software bugs or production glitches, according to a Reuters report.
