Toshiba on July 14 will launch in Japan the world's first HD DVD recorder, following the debut of its HD DVD player in March. The device, the RD-A1, will include one terabyte of hard disk space and can store up to 130 hours of high-definition programming.
But Toshiba's new recorder won't come cheap. Estimated pricing in Japan is 398,000 yen, or $3,470 USD. Still, the company hopes to sell 10,000 units by the end of 2006. Launch plans for the device in the United States and Europe has not yet been decided, Toshiba said.
