Blu-ray/HD DVD Burner From Hitachi-LG

Hitachi-LG Data Storage (HLDS) revealed at the CeBit 2007 that they are planning the release of a hybrid Blu-ray/HD DVD burner. The GGW-H10N “Super Multi Blue” drive can read, record, or re-write CDs and DVDs (10x speed for DVD±R, 8x for DVD±RW, 6x/8x for DVD±R DL) as well as playback, read and record single and dual-layer Blu-ray discs (4x or 3.5x speed). HD DVD capabilities are limited to playback.The company said the drive has an expected price of $1200 and should be available by May. This price is almost twice the price recently announced in Taiwan. Let guess the product will be on the market sooner and cheaper than just announced by Hitachi-LG.
