Rex aren't you forgetting Pioneer for -R.
Pioneer is very silent compared to Philips when it comes to dual layer tech however it might be a calm befor the storm.
plextor have said they will look at it for the px-708
However don't forget 8x DVD-R is a lot harder to implement as 8x DVD+R. That's why Plextor won't promise everything and that's why most companny's stay away from it.
Pioneer however has to prove that it is possible since they claimed it and after all there still one of the most important -r supporters on the market. Since pioneer knows that 8x might be the last speed for them I think they might pull off something extra with the launch of the A07 it might be dual layer or it might be something else after all they will have to give people a reason to stay on -r if the format cannot go faster at least that is if they really want to compete.
You may wait as long as you want but I think the most of us allready have found 4x DVD-R media.
