Review of the HP DVD200i
HP has released the brand new DVD200i , successor to the DVD100i. HP also announced the soon to be available DVD200e , that is the external ( Firewire ) version of the 200i.
Both these writers can handle the DVD+RW and DVD+R formats. Besides this the drive also functions as a standard CD recorder/rewriter and CD/DVD player. Note that the box now clearly has a label that says DVD+R. Reason for this is that the older DVD100i was initially sold with a kind of promise that the DVD+R capability would be made available via a firmware upgrade. Apparently this is not technically possible. This has lead to some people looking into filing a so called 'class-action; lawsuit against HP, to get compensation for not living up to this promise. HP has already taken action to correct this by offering this 99$ upgrade ( which is basically the cost of the new software ).
