No one on the Blu-ray side of the isle today is talking about BD-J, any new interactive features, new players, special features, etc:

Odd, since I remember a new Samsung player, a Vaio media center, several burners, and bunch of complete and feature spec'd titles being announced, along with demos of two prototypes.
If there's anything that the HD DVD camp should be worried about, it's the fact that what is essentially a non-event (no announcement from Universal) immediately triggered the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth across the community. I was unaware that there were so many that were so tenuous in their support that it took the merest whiff of strange behavior to make them doubt the format (and in some cases, themselves). I doubt they have a lot of people scouring these forums, but if they did, they would be disheartened to see how people reacted. The question is, do they assume that the boards have no influence and continue as before, or do they run damage control? I wouldn't be surprised to see Kornblau make a strong announcement this week or next week to head off the concerns of the connected early adopters, as they are the vast majority of the consumers right now.
