The Japanese media specialist Logitec is ready to ship what appears to be the world's first OS-X compatible Blu-Ray player for Apple's Macintosh computer systems. The 2x Blu-Ray Disk drive can write to BD-R and BD-RE media allowing the handling of both 25Gb and 50Gb disks.
Logitec's new drive, the LBD-A2FU2/WM will also support current formats such as DVD-RAM, DVD±R/RW, dual-layer DVD±R and CD-R/RW. To top it off, Logitec has graced it's potential supporters with the ability to interface by either USB 2.0 or Firewire.

The drive will ship with the new version of Toast 7 Titanium and is expected to cost in the neighborhood of ¥132,000 ($1,148/£614/€899). No word yet on international shipping.
