iVDR is another storage format unlikely to get outside of Japan, which reminds me of Iomega's Jaz series. But the capacities are much better -- we go up to 80GB this time. Though there are three possible sizes of iVDR, these discs are 80 x 110 x 12.7mm, or about 3" wide and 4.3" tall.

For those of you who don't want another optical drive in your home theater setup, IO Data offers up a version of their popular "AVeL LinkPlayer" network media player without a DVD drive.

Japanese people often make jokes about Westerners, because rather than putting our "seal" o­n things like they do, we sign our documents. "How do they remember what to sign?" "How do they always write the same thing twice?"

Well, Japan, stamps aren't exactly the epitome of security secure, either.
Anyway, IO Data Device has new USB memory devices with an integrated name stamp. Why? I don't know.

Here's the smallest dual layer DVD burner I've seen thus far.

Running out of space for your valuable porn collection business documents? IO Data has the answer for you - a 1.6TB external HDD in a package measuring only 136 x 266 x 131 mm. Too bad it costs so much.

The USB-CCD30S is a new 0.3 megapixel webcam from IO-Data. The specifications of the camera itself are no different from the 101 other webcams on the market but the included software makes the camera somewhat newsworthy. The "BarCatch Data" software allows two-dimensional QR Code barcodes to be read.

It wasn't so long ago I was saying how the 12MB/sec CompactFlash cards were fast. I even said "sheesh," which I honestly don't do very often.

Well, "sheesh." IO Data has announced new USB memory keychain thingies that have a pretty quick read speed: 22MB/sec. Yeah, you can bet your ass it's USB 2.0.

You may remember the Serial > Bluetooth adapter.
Same concept, but this goes to USB instead of wireless. Honestly though, what modern devices use serial?
I'm thinking this is for using old devices on (new) computers without a serial port (read: Macs).

This isn't the first time we've seen a webcam o­n the end of a bendable metal cable, but hey, it's IO Data.

Personally, I like the iDuck more - but hey, if Gundam is your thing, these new USB memory devices from IO Data should be right up your alley.
