Netbook mini disc

Netbooks are becoming increasingly popular, but one major turn off to consumers is the fact that they don't have a disc drive.
So I was just thinking...Considering Blu-Ray is also newish and going to be the format of the future, do you think it would be wise to make this the format for mini netbook discs? I mean-They can hold as much or more info than a standard CD at a smaller size.

I was also thinking that flash memory would be something to consider, but it's easier (or atleast people already know how) to just burn a disc.

So would this be smart, or just a slap on the forehead?

I've had my netbook for about 6 months and havn't found a need for a one. To get data on and off the netbook I utilize the web, usb drives, sd cards or home network. I also have a USB DVD drive I could use if needed.; ▶ Reply to This
