Lite-on & BTC may skip straight to 16x DVD-Dual models
Lite-On and Behavior Tech Computers (BTC), two main optical storage drive producers in Taiwan, are inclined to forgo offering 12x DVD-Dual burners and directly step into production of 16x models.
[blockquote]However, some of the makers worry that the tight timing would likely make the 12x DVD-Dual a transitional model with a short product life cycle. Lite-On IT estimates the life cycle of 12x DVD-Dual drives would be shorter than one quarter and will concentrate its R&D on developing 16x models, with production slated for May at the earliest, the company said.
