Well it looks like those crazy-cool 16x double-layer DVD drives are shipping from Iomega as expected. Best part is, there is a choice to meet your needs. This is a really decent approach to take when targeting such a wide market. Smart, very smart indeed.

Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM), a global leader in data storage, today announced the availability of two new Iomega® Super DVD 16x recorders. Designed for the evolving needs of home and small business users and supporting the new 8.5 GB double-layer (DL) recording standard, the new drives give consumers an outstanding tool for managing videos, data, music and photos.

The new Iomega Super DVD 16x double-layer recorders will debut next week at the TechXNY tradeshow in New York City, Oct. 5-7, at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
