HD DVD Promo Group Cancels CES Press Conference
It was among the most highly anticipated press events of this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, but following today’s announcement from Warner Home Video, this Sunday’s press conference from the HD DVD Promotions Group has been cancelled.
Organizers sent out a note to members of the media and invited guests late Friday, attributing the cancellation to the timing of Warner’s announcement. A rep for the group told us this evening that the press conference will not be rescheduled, but that the group will still have a presence at the show from its booth on the convention floor.
The full text of the HD DVD Promo Group’s email follows below:
Based on the timing of the Warner Home Video announcement today, we have decided to postpone our CES 2008 press conference scheduled for Sunday, January 6th at 8:30 p.m. in the Wynn Hotel. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We are currently discussing the potential impact of this announcement with the other HD DVD partner companies and evaluating next steps. We believe the consumer continues to benefit from HD DVD’s commitment to quality and affordability – a bar that is critical for the mainstream success of any format.
We’ll continue to keep you updated on new developments around HD DVD.

CNN talks about Geek News Central
It’s only a day and some hours left before CES starts. CNN does something totally awesome. They talk about one of my Favorite Podcasts. GNC or Geek News Central on there website. Some of the major hitters Engadget, InTune Network, SlashGear, and Chip Chick. Which is a lot for these blogs. Means there will be people who read CNN and they will click these other Sites. I am so glad for Todd and these other sites because there will be more people to share the joy of podcasting and have them come our way. As you know Todd is the major contributor for Techpodcasts.com, which all the podcasters that I know are from that site. So more people will find more podcasts to listen. I am so overjoyed in this little adventure. It means Todd’s site is going to be busy the next few weeks. I hope we all help support his little endeavor and show our support for what he does. Good for you, Todd. You sure are setting a good example for podcasters.
