Acer and China Huala Group announce Blu-ray allegiance

August 31, 2007 – 8:36 am

Amidst the slew of new Blu-ray players showcased at IFA comes word that two new forces are pledging their alligiance to the BD camp. Reportedly, both Acer and China Huala Group have joined on as hardware partners, and the latter is supposedly looking to establish a “Blu-ray Disc authoring center in China.” The announcements were purportedly made by the Blu-ray Disc Association while in Berlin, and while we’re not exactly sure how long Acer will make us wait for more Blu-ray-equipped lappies, the more intriguing question — you know, the one regarding concerns over piracy from a newfound authoring center in China — has yet to be tackled by the BDA.
