New York City - Technology: "A new format skirmish in the consumer electronics cosmos may escalate into a full-blown declaration of war later this week, when the annual International Consumer Electronics Show extravaganza opens in Las Vegas.
While the matter of which format dominates the future of home video will be a focus of the show, there will be the usual array of dandy new electrified goodies: new big-screen monitors, advanced digital cameras and camcorders, and the rumor of a new iPod and desktop computer to arrive the day after the show, at Macworld in San Francisco.
But the issue with the most potential for controversy revolves around the next generation of digital video; the contestants are Blu-ray and HD-DVD. The stakes are enormous: control of the future of high-definition movies for the home."
