Following LG's lead, Fujitsu-Siemens has announced that it too will avoid taking sides in the Blu-ray/HD-DVD war, and will support both platforms. "We don't take a stand in that fight, and actually we're very sorry that fight is happening," a Fujitsu-Siemens exec has said.
The move isn't exactly a shock: Fujitsu has already declared its neutrality, and Siemens has never endorsed either platform. And Fujitsu-Siemens is hardly a major force in the global market for HD hardware (though they do make the world's most desirable laptop, which has to count for something).
Still, we doubt this makes either Toshiba or Sony very happy. As far as they're concerned, when it comes to next-gen data and HD media, there can be only one.
