I just spoke with Oppo Digital's VP Product Development, Jason Liao. (Very nice man to talk to.)
Oppo is definitely working on their Blu-ray player. They are still fairly early in their development cycle. Oppo has signed technology agreements for key licenses and semi-conductors as well as obtained the reference sample information. Presently are working on the feature set of the unit.
No current estimated time line for shipments to start, alas. (I offered to drive over and pick mine up.)
Sometime this summer they expect to have more concrete information about features and time line.
Cheers,
Tom (anxiously waiting!)
