Dear all,
I have read a lot of messages regarding MD, MP3,..., etc. I have also read
some long discussion about MD's future not too long ago. I have some idea..
We can also look MD from different point of view. Because no matter ATRAC,
WMA or MP3, they are all files in computer world. So, MD, in fact, is a
format of computer data storage.
In this sense, MD will have very very wide application because it has very
good form factor, random access capability (compared with tape), good
protection to the storage media, and, high storage density (MD data 2 can
store up to 650MB of data). For example, MD digital camera, MD MP3 player
(MP3 files stored on MD disc), MD digital vedio camera, MD music player (we
call it MD player today), MD digital voice recorder, ...
MD, MD computer data drive, is a perfect replacement to floppy disk. One MD
can replace up to 450 floppy discs. For floppy, we do not ask for high
access speed. MD computer data drive could have many different interface
such as IDE, USB or even 1394. It should have its role in the multi-media
world. Comparing with those memory stick, its price is far too attractive.
With the MD computer data drive, we will be able to copy music files, image
files, voice files or even movie files, from computer to the MD disc
easily, then, replay it in the corresponding equipements which could be MD
music player, MD digital voice player, MD video player,...
I have tried to realize my idea with the manufacturer in Taiwan but the
project failed because: (1) the company did not put priority to the
project, they focus on CD-ROM; (2) most of the MD patents are in Japanese
hands.
However, I truely believe there is a huge market for the MD products
mentioned above. Anyone of you see the possibility? Thanks.
best regards
Wailun Kwok
