Lite-On IT has beaten competitors such as Sony, Toshiba and Samsung by launching what it claims to be the world's first 20x DVD burners.
Industry sources said, “Lite-On IT has launched two super multi models . The first is the LH-20A1P, while the second is the LH-20A1H which also supports the burning of LightScribe discs, which let you burn, in monochrome, a high-res image or text onto the ‘top’ of the disc where a label is normally applied or a felt-tip permanent market is used to write on the disc. They're cool, but the discs cost more than regular blanks, and by all accounts it has only been a quite modest market success.”
Both 20x models will be first made available to the retail market and volume production of the LH-20A1P model is expected to start next month.
Industry sources added, “The mainstream DVD burners in the market are 16x and 18x models. First-tier ODD makers, such as Sony, NEC and TSST, also have plans to launch 20x DVD burners, but as 18x models have been on the market for less than half a year, the makers do not want to make 18x models look like transitional products.
"Their 20x DVD burners will not enter volume production until the first quarter of 2007, the industry sources added."
