New Toshiba HD-DVD recorder delayed

The new Toshiba RD-A1 was meant to launch tomorrow, but that has now been shifted back to July 27th due to "component shortages".

It's looking like the whole current/next-gen family is going to be remembered in years to come for shortages: Xbox 360, PS3, Blu Ray, HD-DVD. Surely there's a dissertation here for someone?
