Ricoh announces DVD+RW, CDRW and CDR in one!
What about speed? Well it's a little low for the time due, but ok, it's a start. CDR's can be written up to 12x, CDRW's up to 10x and DVD+RW at 2.5x.
Because the drive will be released in Q4-2001 I guess it won't become popular very fast because it still will be expensive (although I expect it to be expensive) and writing CDR's at 12x for a high price won't be really popular.... but like I said before and I'll say it again: it's a start!
The one thing left to do is wait.... so we'll do

Well, nice thing, but it seems that Ricoh is a bit late with introducing this technology. Because, at the CeBIT 2000 they already claimed they would introduce this new technology at the end of 2000... 
To make things more clear, I've taken some time to re-upload the old article of Recording Underground visiting CeBIT 2000. And in that article, almost at the bottom, (in red) you can read that statement again.

Now, what will be the plans for next year?? :8
