While OEM prices for CD-R discs have stayed at US$0.09-0.10 currently, those for 4x or 8x DVD+R/-R discs have dropped to US$0.11-0.12 and some makers have even quoted US$0.10, the sources indicated. The reduction in price gap has pushed OEM orders from CD-R to DVD+R/-R discs, and consequently, the utilization of CD-R production capacity among Taiwan-based makers has fallen from 70-80% in the third quarter of this year to 60-70% at present, the sources pointed out.

Transcend’s T3 is available now in 1GB and 2GB capacities. Full details can be found here. Add a comment
Transcend, a world leader in flash drives and memory products, today launched the JetFlash T3, a brand-new ultra-tiny USB flash drive. Measuring only 30.2mm x 12.3mm x 2.4mm (L x W x D), the T3 is incredibly compact, and only weighs a mere 2g. Unlike other miniature USB flash drives which are fragile and bend or break easily, the JetFlash T3 is designed to be extra-rugged. Using a special COB (Chip On Board) manufacturing technique that molds the memory chip and circuit board into the drive’s unbreakable Polycarbonate casing, the T3 is more solid and robust than even full-sized flash drives. JetFlash T3’s durability and tiny footprint allows it to be carried in places where ordinary flash drives just do not fit. It can be used as a mobile phone dongle or a keychain accessory, and can be stored safely in a wallet without risk of compression damage.
