Then there is the Pop-Up Keyboard so the use rcan enter data into their Blu-ray player that enables such Blu-ray features as talking with friends or messaging via Twitter and Facebook; and Brows Titles which basically speaks for itself, the user can browse the total list of Pocket BLU enabled titles, and free previews and more.

I have those features on my Blu-ray, can’t really see the point in using them though, most people that use ipods are used to crap quality anyway, maybe they’ll see the light that Blu-ray is the way to go if you want to watch a movie in true HD.
