Toshiba has announced that their new HD DVD recorder, the SD-H903A, will be available later in January. The drive is a regular 5.25” form factor, runs on the SATA interface and is compatible with various DVD and CD formats. But don’t get too excited. This is a first generation model: write speeds are very limited. 1x on HD DVD-R (and Dual Layer) media, 8x on DVD-R and DVD+R media (2.4x on Dual Layer) and finally 10x on CD-R.
Regardless, all the early adopters are going to want to get their hands on the drive. Too bad Toshiba is only shipping the drive to OEMs.

Oh really.
Who's this great psychic who can speak for "all" early adopters – or all of anyone else?
10x CD-R, shouldn't they include CD-R to burn at higher speed than 10x? eh what do I know...

then it's not 4x your burning, a whole dvd-r takes around 15 min. not 30 min. for only 3gb
It's great that burners are coming out, but I'm definitely going to wait.
they should have just stayed happy with DVD DL.
