If memory serves, the reason a blue powered laser might beat one of the kind in use today is that the latter uses near infrared, which has a much longer frequency than a blue light. This alone would double the number of grooves or pits on the Cd that can be read by the laser. However, since the surface of the CD is functionally 2 dimensional, the total increase would be about 4 times better for the blue laser. All this is nice, but is there a lot of demand for a CD holding 280 minutes worth of music? Most computer programs wouldn't come close to filling one, so I see their use mainly to store digital data that doesn't need to be changed (historical data?) or for images. An alternative would be a CD no bigger than a half dollar storing as much as one of our present 4.5' disks..This probably has lots more potential. I hope CREE reduces price of LED as fast as possible. At this stage market share and volume are the key.
