Sony's new storage medium, "Universal Media Disc", is what they're going to use in their "Playstation Portable", to be released in late 2004.. I wonder if there will be recordable versions and portable recorders/players reminiscent of todays minidisc recorders.

Just look at that cool rounded design.. Now, imagine a minidisc recorder shaped like that... :drools:

(and those 1,8 gigabyte could prove quite useful!!!

Cool. Sony though will probably screw it up this some copyright issues.

Wish they were so schizoid between their technology and media departments.

Very neat....imagine the next wave of MD units used this technology?

Whats the big deal...its just a dvd made smaller. Why not just use a regular dvd that can hold 10 times more information.

i think they said that the media will be used with the upcoming portable Playstation thingy? I heard the thing will play music as well as mpeg4 movies. Will Sony take over Nintendo's throne just as they did with Playstation ?

I'd like to see if they make this an MD replacement, or co-exist alongside the current MD. I heard that Sony wants to use ATRAC3 and AAC on the PS portable.

The shape of the cartridge goes a long way in helping unit designers too... an easy way out for them at least

And fappar, that's what video portables are for
