Panasonic Unveiled DVDBurnerII
"DVDBurnerII is Panasonic's next-generation combination DVD/CD drive that takes the confusion out of buying a Recordable DVD drive. Meeting DVD Multi specifications, the new DVD Multi drive builds on the success of Panasonic's currently available DVD-RAM/R DVDBurner by extending the drive's capabilities to include read/write support for all Recordable DVD formats approved by the DVD Forum and read/write support for CD-R/RW discs. Universal and affordable, the DVDBurnerII offers higher write speeds, faster playback, broad compatibility and the convenience of being able to switch between formats and capacities."
"The Panasonic brand DVDBurnerII drives will begin shipping in October 2002 and, like the continuing DVD-RAM/R DVDBurner, will be available for resale at retail or OEM applications. The Panasonic brand DVD BurnerII drive for retail sale will be priced at less than $500."
Apple's SuperDrive is a Pioneer DVD burner. Should we look for one of these Panasonics in future upgrades of iMacs and Power Macs? [Corrections from Eugene Chan and Jeff Leigh]
