So say Taiwanese sources

Digitimes reports Taiwanese sources saying HP has ordered Blu-ray disk Combo drives from Pioneer.

Such drives combine a DVD drive with a Blu-ray drive and their prices have recently been falling, with Pioneer and Panasonic playing a tit-for-tat price reduction game in China.

By the end of next year the mainstream optical drive for PCs and notebooks could well be a BD Combo unit, giving the Blu-ray format a welcome boost in its player population.
