A Miraculous Product to Turn SD in HD

It is rather amazing how Microsoft is able to close its eyes on past or on-going conflicts or fights with Apple when there is an opportunity to get market share on a new growing market, as they were not able to create it. Such suite will most likely be rather expensive and not be free or only cost the usual few USD as most of iPhone apps.
