DVDs are still going strong and still being worked on. The latest is an ultra thin DVD which measures just 0.092mm thick. It was created by Hitachi Maxell and is 1/13th the thickness of regular DVD media. However, the thin size does not mean less data stored. Full capacity is still at 4.7GB. The price of these ultra thin DVDs will be around $4 when they are made available. I am not sure why they need to be made this thin as DVDs and CDs seem to be just fine as they are. One thing I can think of is the ability to be able to store 13 times more DVDs in the same space as 1 DVD.
