Samsung to launch Blu-ray/HD DVD player?

According to an article published by IDGNS, Kim Du-Hyon, an assistant manager in Samsung's home-platform product planning division, reacted to rumors about Blu-ray/HD DVD players that have been making rounds on the Internet for several months. "We don't have a plan to make an HD DVD-only player but are considering a universal player," he said. "We are preparing HD DVD [support] now and if we launch a universal player it will be the end of this year or early next year," Du-Hyon is quoted by IDGNS.
