The technology, called DiscT@2(TM), is due out in Japan in July. The images print on to the CD at approximately 250dpi, making graphics as well as text possible. More info can be found at Yamaha's CD-RW site (in English) as well as at Akiba PC Hotline (in Japanese, with better pictures. Babelfish for suitably akward translation). No word on a timeframe for U.S. availability"

So Marketing only focuses on the english speaking clientel or what ?

Marketing focuses on maximizing sales and English is the most widely spoken language in the industrialized world. Despite Germany's best efforts between 1939 and 1945 to convert all of Europe to a German-speaking country, there are still only about 1/8 as many German speakers as there are English speakers.
