      Apple Moves to Support DVD+RW Format

      After years of backing only one format in the recordable DVD format war, Apple Computer Inc. is adding limited support of a rival format into its operating system. Apple, a longtime supporter of the DVD-R format, confirmed last week that it is adding support for DVD+R and DVD+RW into the Macintosh operating system with Panther, the new version of Mac OS X that ships late next week. Apple is only adding support for backing up data and has not yet added support for the format into its media applications.

The company has posted the fastest year-to-year revenue growth among disk storage vendors and ranks No. 1 in sales of NAS boxes in the $5,000 to $15,000 price range. Dells third-quarter unit sales of NAS boxes was up 43 percent from the prior quarter, according to Brad Nisbet, senior research analyst with IDC. “Dells business model throughout the company is to be very aggressive with pricing, and NAS is no exception,” Nisbet said. Although Dell has said it will remain in the NAS business, other companies have dropped out, including IBM, Maxtor Corp., and Gateway Inc.
