I was wondering the same thing.

Are these just HD players or is there a recorder out too ?

Currently there is only one HD-DVD player on the market - the Toshiba HD-E1 (or A1 if you buy the US verison) and no recorders (as there ins't any HD-DVD blank media available yet)

You can also get a HD-DVD drive add-on for the xbox 360

Likewise, there is one Samsung Blu-Ray player on the market, with Son'ys flagship model soon to follow. It was supposed to be be out already, but Sony shelved it whilst trying to pimp the pre-orders for the PS3 which is Blu-Ray capable....

Blu-Ray is Sony's attempt at high definition optical media, and much like HD-DVD, but has higher storage rates (50gb per disc instead of HD-DVD's 25gb)

And 8 days after the first Blu-ray HD dvd film was released, someone cracked the "uncrackable" coding which was supposed to prevent copying.
Was done quicker than the coding on original Dvd's
