CES 2007: Skip-Away Consumer Disc Repair System
OptoClear’s Skip-Away is an upcoming consumer oriented device that has a sole purpose of repairing and maintaining your CDs, DVDs and games discs. Until now, OptoClear’s disc repair devices have been primarily used by big businesses like Blockbuster video, where disc repair is badly needed. Unfortunately these business oriented machines run very high price tags, so OptoClear’s Skip-Away is aimed at bringing the technology to the home user. A rep told us that the expected retail price is $249. While that is significantly cheaper then previous OptoClear devices, we can’t imagine that there will be a lot of consumers who will spend $249 for a disc repair machine - of course, that doesn’t include die hard movie fans, DVD collectors, and the like. However, we do have to hand it to OptoClear for making the Skip-Away available in several colors - ladybug (red), canary (yellow), pink lemonade (pink), blade (green), jet (black), and surf (blue). Because we always like to be able to match all of our gadgets.
