Yes but we already have exactly what we need - hi-res downloads. We might see new audio file types, beyond WMA, MP3, FLAC, AAC and so on, but the only companies that can actually release a hard 'format' are the real hardware biggies - Philips and Sony and the likes - especially if they have a tied software division. My assertion - and I agree that's all it is - is that we will not see a HD-DVDA or HQA-Blu-ray. Bet you 10p :) (And yes, I know I can never win that bet!)
