Lite-On has just announced its upcoming external Blu-Ray writer, the LX-2B1U. Using USB 2.0 connectivity, this burner can take care of both single and dual-layer Blu-ray dics, as well as recordable (BD-R) and rewriteable (BD-RE) discs at 2x speeds. Like other Blu-Ray burner, standard DVD+-R/RW burning is allowed, however, no support for CD-R/RW media. No words on pricing and availability yet, but it will probably hit the store in the early 2007.

As I've mentioned before, Canon Imaging recently presented two new portable photo printers under the SELPHI line-up, the CP720 and CP730 models. Simply by looking at the model number, I'm sure you might already guess that the CP730 has more advanced features. And you're right. And the most noticeable difference, apart from its 178 x 131 x 65 mm dimensions, is the 2-inch colors LCD display, compared to CP720's 1.5-inch screen. However, on the printing quality side, this photo printer offers the same resolution as its siblings, a 300 x 300 dpi (256 gradatios/color) resolution.

Weighs less than 1kg, SELPHI CP730 Portable Photo Printer comes with a variety of handy features, such as Trimming Mode, ID Phone Mode, Movie Print Mode, Print Effect Mode, Borderless Image Mode, and My Colors Mode. Like CP720, it also supports several printing sizes, including Postcard Size, Large Size, Card Size and Wide Size. Don't expect some information about the price and availability at the moment, but you can expect a bunch of accessories - Paper Cassette, Standard Sheet/Ink Cassette, Compact POWER Adapter, POWER Cord, Cleaner Stick and a CP Printer Solution Disk - bundled on the retail package when you purchased the printer later.
