I wonder whether the apparent omission is a marketing thing. The price differential between G91 and G95 is as I recall, not that great. Possibly removing DVD-A redresses some of the balance between G95 and G91 + amp.

I would certainly expect expect the electronics to be near identical to G91 and have an identical software code base. So IMHO, its an artificial removal of DVD-A rather than any physical limitation. I can't honestly see the ROM drive being an influential factor.
