Well, keeping their options open is one thing and any CEO would be stupid not to answer a question along of the lines of "Will you ever consider supporting technology X?" in the affirmative regardless of whether it's high definition TV, Blu-ray, or built-in baby mulchers, on the grounds that it's always possible it might become necessary to stay in the market.
But it sounds like Toshiba's words are measured enough to imply they're not jumping into this particular shark tank right away and almost certainly are going to wait for the technology to become popular, and profitable before taking the plunge - and have been holding off because they don't see either as particularly likely to ever happen.
Which is what most of us who aren't Darren Murph have been saying Toshiba is going to do for the last year.
