World's first slim HD DVD-R drive from Toshiba, the SD-L902A has also been displayed at this event along with its desktop (internal) sibling, SD-H902A... SD-L902A's availability has recently been confirmed by Toshiba Corp via this press release. It can read from and write to almost any optical disc format ranging from CD-R/RW to DVD+R (SL/DL) and DVD+RW to DVD-RAM to HD DVD-R (SL/DL). Its ultra-slim cousin 9.5 mm height SD-U913A (last picture) is also on display.
