A new portable CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive from Sony that also doubles as a standalond CD and MP3 player. The MPD-AP20U can burn CDs at 24x, and interestingly uses USB 1.1/2.0 for connecting to computers, rather than i.LINK (Sony’s version of FireWire), which is more common on Sony devices. Comes out next month with a retail price of $299.
