[Jared Moya]

Logitec has unveiled its LBD-A2FU2/LBD-A2U2 drives, the first Blu-ray disk drives to support Mac OS X. The new drives can play, read, and record single-layer (25GB) or double-layer (50GB) Blu-ray disks; read, play, record, and re-write DVD+R/-R/+RW at 8X, DVD-RW at 6X, DVD+R/-R DL at 4X, and DVD-RAM at 5X speeds; and can play as well as burn CD-Rs at 24X or CD-RWs at 16X. The devices feature an 8MB buffer that allows burning without interruption, with the LBD-A2FU2 offering both USB 2.0 as well as FireWire connectivity. The LBD-A2U2, conversely, only offers USB 2.0 connectivity. The A2U2 and A2FU2 are priced at $1,100 and $1,200,

Lies. Apple just doesn't want to cater to the non lucrative prosumer/professional market. Just the ipod weilding, macbook buying teen crowd.
