LG to launch a multi-format DVD writer According to a blurp at The Inquirer, Korean electronics giant LG is about to introduce its own version of multi-format DVD writer at the upcoming CeBIT show in Hannover, Germany.
Most interesting about the drive is the claim that it will support ALL of the existing DVD formats; DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW -- and the biggest surprise, also DVD-RAM.

Currently Sony has been pretty much the only player in this lucrative market, when NEC's multiformat drives are still pretty much a much-anticipated rumour and have been delayed many times so far.
