What are Pioneer and DVD-RW up to?

[michaelab]

Philips are selling their £400-£600 880/890 range of DVD+RW recorders like hot cakes and have the awesome 1000MkII just released; Panasonic are doing pretty well with their (now competetively priced) E30 and HS2 DVD-RAM machines...and Pioneer are still hoping that people will buy their first generation £1000+ behemoth the DVR-7000

If Pioneer don't get their act together pretty sharpish then both they and DVD-RW will soon be history in the 'home' (ie not computer related) DVD recordable market.
