Source : CDR InfoThe USB 3 Promoter Group is still working on the next upgrade of the USB technology, which should be reqdy by the second half of 2008.
Coming after Full-Speed USB (12Mbit/s) and Hi-Speed USB, also called USB 2 (480 Mbit/s), Superspeed USB is to be 10 times faster than its predecessor.
Thanks to its downward compatibility, but above all thanks to its fine-tuned energy management which will allow a gain on laptop's autonomy, Fullspeed USB should quickly become a widespread standard.
If Apple does not upgrade its own firewire norm, it will soon be killed and burried by USB 3. Should we soon expect "one more thing" to be Firewire 5000 ?
