BD-J (Re: Java SE 6 Developer Preview 9)

There's another compelling issue that makes Java more relevant than ever, and that's BD-J.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BD-J)

Since it seems that Blue-Ray has all but crushed HD-DVD, what are all those new titles being developed in? Clearly Java has relevance as a key player in the next big media format, namely BD.

Now we know Apple has HD rentals, but "I want my 10 80 p". (To the tune of "Money for Nothing")

Netflix will likely offer HD downloads to the new profile BD players and PS3. This is all Java, folks!

Here's another video: http://java.sun.com/developer/media/deepdivebluray.jsp

If Apple is the content king (and they are), how should they respond to a huge shift in the industry with the victory of BD and the death of HD-DVD? It seems that Apple would want to be in on the content creation game, and that means staying current with Java.

The latest crop of video cameras are HD. BD drives are getting cheaper. By next year, consumers will expect iMovie to be able to create BD movies with all their HD content.

PS I'm pretty tempted to get a BD drive just so I can make my own HD movies!
PPS What happens when people go HD crazy? They start working with huge files, and pretty soon they need a bigger computer. Say, like a new Mac Pro. There is going to be an HD content creation revolution, and people are going to need software and hardware to make it happen.
