NEC has announced that it will display the successor to the very popular ND-1300(A) drive at IFA Berlin which starts the 29 August. It will be named ND-2300(A) and be an 8x dual format DVD writer. No specifications have been revealed yet so it's uncertain if the ND-2300 will write both formats in 8x or only DVD+R in 8x and DVD-R in 4x like the Plextor PX-708A.
NEC will also show a 4x dual format notebook DVD writer named ND-5300 at IFA 2003.
