Some of you folks may have heard of the Blu-Ray DVD (http://www.matsushita.co.jp/corp/news/official.data/data.dir/en020219-4/en020219-4.html) standard. Well according to CNet News (http://news.com.com/2100-1041-5139694.html), both Hewlett Packard and DELL are now backing the standard!
Last week, HP and Dell said they are supporting the "Blu-ray Disc" format, which uses blue laser light to squeeze more than four hours of high definition video onto a single-sided disc.
"HP believes Blu-ray Disc is the most consumer-friendly technology choice for the next generation of removable storage," John Romano, HP senior vice president, said in a statement.
Blue-laser drives are considered a successor to today's red-laser DVD drives. Blu-ray Disc technology allows for up to 27GB of storage on a single-sided disc, compared with 4.7GB for current DVDs.
Additionally, Blu-ray Disc backers are working on a dual-layer disc that can hold about 50GB of data.
