"We're puzzled ourself by where these reports came from," said Junko Furuta of Toshiba, who denied such developments. That's all we know for now, no word on when the disc will actually be completed, but according to the original announcement, Toshiba will be looking for approval of such a disc this year.<br /><br />[Thanks, Zombieflanders]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">*</p><p><a href=http://www.macworld.com/news/2007/03/01/toshiba/index.php>Read</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/2007/03/01/toshiba-says-51gb-hd-dvd-still-in-the-oven/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/forward/843799/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/2007/03/01/toshiba-says-51gb-hd-dvd-still-in-the-oven/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr /><p><a title="Sponsored By" href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/click;h=v2|3747|0|0|%2a|u;44404524;0-0;0;13519412;31-1|1;17996600|18014495|1;;%3fhttp://www.fordboldmoves.com/default.aspx?bannerid=%esid!|%epid!|%eaid!|%ecid!" target="_blank">BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD</a> A new documentary series.
