External Blu-Ray combo drive for Pc and Mac

I have been waiting for this for a long time, an external solution!! This bluray device is not here yet albeit being released in Japan by Logitec, (not Logitech) in August 2006. The Sony Vaio Bluray drive on their top end AR Vaio notebooks are here already, included onboard and outputted via a 17 inch xbite monitor who resolution peaks at 1920 x 1200, that's true High Def resolution!! At $4000, that is a lot for those early adopters wanting a top end notebook. Software support is limited but functional.A new wave of third party vendors will pop up soon enough. Now what is Apple got going on??! well, with Macworld coming up in jan 8 2007, we are sure to see what their offerings are for the new Macpro 3 lineup regarding the Bluray format. The Merom processor (64 bit) for the Notebook line is inevitable and the world eagerly awaits the outcome for these pro apps and hardware. damn the wait better be worth it!
