Self Powered Blu-ray USB Writer
Today Sunland International introduced their self powered Blu-ray DVD writer. The unit doesn’t need an AC connection to burn a disc, but it does need a PC connection for the software to control it. You can think of this as a USB connected Blu-ray burner, but it’s ultra portable because it doesn’t require AC power or laptop power to burn a disc. Rather, the self-powered DIG-78102 [nice name guys] uses an Li-Poly battery to get it’s daily dose.
The self-powered Blu-ray burner uses a “smart charge” approach via USB to power the device. With an intelligent power manager to auto trickle charge the internal Li-Poly battery you can get up to 3 hours of use without a charge.
All this for an on-line price of just $599 [ouch].
