Steve Jobs says Blu-Ray is too complicated, will most likely delay it on Apple products.


From Steve Jobs' notebook keynote today came an interesting quote:
"Blu-ray is just a bag of hurt. It's great to watch the movies, but the licensing of the tech is so complex, we're waiting till things settle down and Blu-ray takes off in the marketplace." Phil chimed in with "We have the best HD movie and TV options in iTunes."
Jobs also replied, when asked about the dearth of HDMI in his introductions, that HDMI was "limited in resolution,". Philip Schiller further elaborated by saying that "for typical computer use, DisplayPort is the connector of the future."

That puts fear in the heart of many Apple loving home theater enthusiasts. Seems Blu-Ray support is a ways off for now.
