A competitor for LightScribe

While LightScribe is facing problems to be turned into a blockbuster product as well as convincing DVD burner manufacturers to include this feature in their future models, NEC is preparing a new system to compete directly with HP's technology. The name of this new standard : LabelFlash.
LabelFlash is almost identical to a technology developed by Yamaha in the past, and known as Disc T@2. With such a system, it will be possible to burn image in 256 Grayscale mode on specific CD type. In addition it will take only 5 minutes to burn an image, versus 30 minutes currently with LightScribe.
The first burner featuring this new system will be the NEC ND-4551A and should be available soon. But there is no information related to the price of this drive neither to the compatible media.
