Philips 16x DVD writer
Philips Electronics has launched the "world's first" , which can burn a disc in less than six minutes, according to Reuters. "U.S. computer maker Dell will be the first customer for the new DVD burner....Philips and Dell have a partnership to supply each other with products. Philips said it planned to produce 600,000 of the devices every month. Computer makers will pay between 80 and 90 euros ($97-$109) per DVD writer when buying in large quantities, while consumers will have to pay around 180 euros."

Typical
We just get 8x and everyone else gets 8x.
On the bright side, we'll get 16x when everyone else gets 32x. :-)
