New Technology TV

Batteries are the lifeblood of virtually all of our electronic gadgets, and there are a number of different technologies that go into making batteries that can perform a bunch of different tasks. There are lead based batteries, lithium ion batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries, nickel cadmium batteries, and even various kinds of biological batteries under development. Batteries can be disposable or they can be rechargeable, and the rechargeable types can come in sizes like AA, AAA, D, and 9 volt; or in the form of custom made battery packs to fit in specific devices. Some rechargeable batteries are even built into gadgets so that they can't be changed. (Considering that batteries tend to last less time than the devices that they power, this practice could be seen as planned obsolescence! It's certainly sparked a number of complaints over the years.)

The format war between HD-DVD and Blu-ray for supremacy in the High Definition DVD market has produced a story with a lot of convoluted twists and turns. There have been a considerable number of extremely good strategies waged along with a considerable number of mistakes as well. One great example of this was the introduction of the Play Station 3 by Sony which is also able to function as a Blu-ray player. Sony recognized this opportunity and provided a free movie title on Blu-ray disc along with the first couple hundred thousand units purchased. The idea was that video gaming fans would by the Play Station 3 for its video gaming capabilities (which take advantage of HDTV technology and render incredibly realistic graphics) and then try out the movie that came with those units. The idea was that once the owners of those devices saw the movie, they would go out and buy more movie titles on Blu-ray disc to watch on their Play Station 3's. The sales of Blu-ray titles would increase, and therefore win more confidence from movie studios and other consumers. Once the consumers were won over, the format war would be won.
