After announcing 200 GB Blu-ray discs, now TDK announces also the future release of 8 cm Blu-ray discs:
Though still in development stage it has still a long way to go before you can pop it in your BD recorder. But getting approval from the BDA (Blu-Ray disc association) will be a major issue for TDK. In addition to this 8 cm wide mini BD-R and BD-RE discs were displayed at the BDA stall in Ceatec. The mini discs will be used in future hi-def camcorders which support Blu-Ray media. The 8 cm wide disc will have a capacity of 16.5 GB (2/3 of current 25GB single layer discs). Dual layer mini discs with 33GB capacity might also be unveiled in the near future.

information on TDK website, but here at CDFreaks we are always interested when a
new media is announched :b
