Gizmondo: Sony are claiming that their newest DVD±R burner, made with partner NEC, is the world’s fastest.
The AWG170A is able to burn discs at 16x (whether or not 16x media is widely available is apparently irrelevant), the AWG170A also burns DVD-RAM (12x), DVD±R DL (8x), DVD+RW (8x), DVD-RW (6x) and CD-R/RW (48x).
The drive has a built-in system to help correct unbalanced discs and a self-cooling design that works without noisy fans. It will be availalbe in four different front bezel colours.
