After last weeks release of the iPod Nano /2008/09/09/4th-generation-ipod-nano-accelerometer-genius-colors-taller/, iPod Touch /2008/09/09/2nd-generation-ipod-touch-2-1-firmware-speaker-thinner/and iTunes 8 /2008/09/09/itunes-8-hd-tv-shows-grid-view-genius-playlists-nbc/, we neglected to post our traditional rumor wrap up. In the end, however, our pre-event rumor roundup /2008/09/08/lets-rock-rumor-roundup-and-expectations/accurately spelled out the major releases. The bulk of the information came from Kevin Rose /2008/08/22/new-ipod-nano-ipod-touch-itunes-8-0-blu-ray-in-10-6/who detailed a number of the changes accurately. Readers should find interesting that Rose also revealed some future details that have not yet materialized. Specifically, Rose expects that Blu-ray support will finally be built into Mac OS X Blu-ray is the next generation high definition video disc format that only recently /2008/01/04/hd-dvd-vs-blu-ray-battle-over-warner-switches-to-blu-ray/won the format battle after major studios decisively chose it over HD-DVD. Apple has been a member of the Blu-Ray consortium for years but has not yet revealed their plans for Blu-ray support. With the release of Mac OS X 5 earlier this week /2008/09/15/apple-releases-mac-os-x-10-5-5/, Apple should begin work on Mac OS X Built-in Blu-ray support into Mac OS X would open the door for Apple to finally incorporate Blu-ray drives into their Macs as well as Blu-ray support into their suite of iLife applications. The 6 update will not come before the rumored notebook revisions in October, but could conceivably be ready by Macworld San Francisco 200 mmmn I wouldnt mind going off to college with a new iMac with a blu-ray drive next year. is it likely Apple will add Blu-ray support to their software in a point update? i thought they would release it in a major upgrade. Wirelessly posted Mozilla/ 0 iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 21 like Mac OS X; en-us AppleWebKit/ 1 KHTML, like Gecko Version/ 1 Mobile/5F136 Safari/ 20 Wake me up when they release Macs with both Blue-Ray support in the OS as well as a Blue-Ray disc drive. Only then can you really use and watch Blue-Ray discs/movies. When is that likely to happen? Macworld 2010? the article says that Blu-ray support will be added to OS X. so its unlikely that the support will linger around in the OS without hardware support til 20 i predict 1st quarter 200 I am just waiting for the day when my wife can FINALLY make use of the HD cam corder I bought earlier this year. Its a great consumer harddrive full HD cam-corder. Gorgeous picture quality! Itll be fantastic to have an option to burn those to blu-rays or even on dual-layer DVDs in HD formats to play on my iMovie is lagging in support for HD even though HD was all the rage a few years the hardware is now in place, its in wide enough now its time for the software to get in gear.
