Halfway the article, talk about nice surprise for "ye 106 owners" ! The prospect of "free 2-layer write update flashrom" sounds still pretty Sci-Fi to me, but the article seems pretty serious.

Hope Pioneer is kind enough to make this available to the normal endusers in the future.

*rats I have a Nec* ;-)

Take Care,

Would be nice but I'm not holding my breathe for a genuine Pioneer update..

AFAIK 4xDVD burners will never be able to burn dual layer media. Why? Because the new media - according to the c't mag - need a 30mW laser diode that only 8x burners have.

Since this demonstration seems to be from october, I think they were forced to use older media and of course their old 4x burner (the 8x Pioneer A07 should be released soon).

Sorry, Hannes

They demonstrated a dual-layer burn on the A06 at CES the other day. Apparently just needed a firmware upgrade.
