Lite-On IT expects to ship one million DVD drives in 1Q 2004
According to DigiTimes Lite-On IT, Taiwan's largest producer of optical disc drives, expects to ship one million DVD drives in the first three months of next year. This statement was made by Michael Gong, Lite-On's general manager for the optical disc business.

Lite-On IT started production of 8x DVD drives in November, with shipment volumes accounting for over 50% of all its DVD drives. The company believes that its DVD drive shipments will exceed one million this year, Gong indicated.

Currently, DVD+RW and DVD Dual are the two mainstream DVD drive specifications, Gong noted. To cope with continued price drops of DVD+RW and DVD Dual drives, Lite-On IT keeps upgrading the speed of drives. Gong said that 12x models will be offered in the first quarter of 2004, with 16x ones in the second half.

This is good news , but they will have to drop the prices if they wish to catch up to some of the much cheaper DVD burners like LG etc which are selling fast.........
