Although there was stiff competition Toshiba's HD-A1 walked away with UAV's Disc Player of the Year honors, and garnered serious consideration for overall Product of the Year.

We've all been waiting for years for HD on a silver disc and the Toshiba HD-A1 made that a reality for just $500. At the time it was released it cost only $100 more than a 60GB video iPod!
