NEC and toshiba showed a prototype to a new kind of optical cd reader to PC.
The reader is called "Blue Laser" and is based on a new technique calld AOD ( Advcanced Optical Disk ), that means tomorrows new disc allows you to store the whole 20GB. The new disc is competing with Sony's "Blue Ray":
Throw away your DVD - Blu Ray is here!
Well not really but almost. The next geneations cd media is still under work. Blu Ray is developed by nine companies including Pioneer and Philips. A normal DVD can usually store 4.7GB or 133min. While a Blue Ray can store a outstanding 27GB(!) or 13 hours of media. Actually a normal DVD can store almost 15GB ( double sided with double layers ) but the problem is that todays cd burners cant handle that.
Anyway it will take a few years before those format is in your PC or below your TV. Those new formats will surely be the new defacto too.
I knew about blue laser technology 3 years ago. A japanese man, working by himself, invented and made it work before the companies did. I guess the companies are finally catching up. The reason they store more data, is because the light frequency is vastly shorter then a red light laser. I'd imagine th e lowest we could go is purple. It will mean something alone the lines of a x30 data boost, possibly x60 or more with more advanced lasers and storing systems based off of the technology.
This is old news man.

I, S, A zum R wer von euch denkt hier er könnte mehr, als die Berliner Bären? Adrenalin Musik direkt aus Kreuzberg!
Ich mache harte Musik auf harte Beats, wie diesen hier. Hinter mir Untergrundkrieger die mit mir maschieren als Team! Seit Jahren seh ich sie alle an uns vorbeiziehen, erst Savas dann Aggro, es ist Zeit für?! ADRENALIN!!!
ehh...it'll prolly be at least 5 years before these things go commercial and prolly at least 10 if they ever do go big...it takes time 4 ppl 2 catch on and these things aren't even fully developed yet...i wont be pissed if these things replace dvd's 10 yrs from now
I heard from my uncle that there is now a little crystal that is going to replace hard drive disks and this little crystal can store up to 1000 GB whatever thats called.
