Sharp BD-HP20S latest Blu-ray Player (and player only) will be out by Fall.
The Sharp BD-HP20S is a no frills Blu-Ray player. Unlike Sharp’s other players that can handle recording and receiving, the HP20S is a player only. Slated to release in the fall of 2007, the expectations are that this player will be the cheapest one from Sharp, though the exact price is currently unknown. Some known specifications are the HDMI1.3 output with support for Dobly TrueHD audio, and a QuickStart function which gets the player showing a movie in seconds.
