News that they are looking to increase 5Gbps SuperSpeed USB interface to double its throughput capability to 10Gbps within a year.
USB is getting even more useful.

getting ready for when external SSD's become mainstream enough to replace HDD's i reckon (and compete with thunderbolt)

Id hate to see the price of these! 4Gig Ethernet switches are around £4000.... a 5Gbps USB stick would be horrendously expensive

5Gbps USB = USB 3

I like the 100W power capacity, could be put to some good uses

That's awesome!

I love USB! Especially the standardization of ports(even non-USB data devices use USB ports nowadays for charging) and its backwards compatibility.
