"BenQ also showcased two DVD burner models (DQ60 and DW1640) at the show, with the DQ60 being BenQ’s first three-format (+R, -R and -RAM) drive. The DVD drive also features drag-and-drop data recording, so burning software is not necessary, BenQ pointed out. The model will be launched at the end of this month."

Things surely move fast in the IT world.
DW1640 is barely shipping and the successor is already announced and should be "launched" at the end of July.

PS They also demoed their Blu-Ray BW1000 prototype, fwiw.
