Slashdot | Companies Abandon The Sinking Ship That Is SDMI – the big one dropping out is lucky goldstar, the big one joining is ibm. hmm, for my part, i just bought a non-sdmi compliant mp3 player. that should be coming in the mail in a week if the usps doesn’t lose my shipment (seems like that’s what happened w/ an accessory for my cell phone). there seem to be some problems w/ the player, but overall it seems to be pretty cool. we’ll see how it works
