So no updates from WWDC - I rekon we're looking at the end of the year for blu ray macbook pros and macpros.
I know the models they're using are the same matshita ones that sony use as adobe have already qualified them for CS3 with macbook pros and mac pros :) |

peter
it's true you could put one in yourself, but with blu-ray, requiring firmware and specific drivers, you really do not want to do that.
there is already some panasonic (matsushita) half height blu-ray drive for notebooks already, slot loading which dell has on their XPS notebooks. they can be bought for about US $600, but again, no apple firmware available that i know of. paul |

Keep in mind that Apple DVDStudioPro can't author any form of Blu-ray video disk yet.
Certainly you can install a Blu-ray burner in MacPros. I know of folks doing that already. There's a company that many recommend for Mac and they have drives for MacBookPro 17" but the company isn't DVInfo sponsor so I probably can't mention them. |
