Powerbook Superdrive specs?
When (okay, "if") the Superdrive makes it into the next revision of Apple's Powerbook, what specs can we expect?
Have CD burners gotten faster so that the CD-writer speed in the Superdrive will be faster than, say, the current combo drives on either the iBook or Powerbook?
Will the DVD-writer be as fast (or faster) than the current Superdrives available in iMacs and Powermacs? I read in another thread that it takes approximately 22 minutes to burn a DVD -- will those speeds make it to a Powerbook?
-- PEte
PS - It seems logical that Apple would be working its butt off behind-the-scenes to get a Superdrive into the Powerbook as soon as possible. Nearly all of their marketing these days involves the ability of Mac-users to burn DVD's, and so far their visible & popular portables are not on that bandwagon. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
