Just wondering if people have noticed anything on the horizon. I did
notice this:

There's also Light Peak (10 gb/sec) from Intel that will blow that out of
the water but it could be years away.

They tested USB3 on a Gigabyte motherboard here. Gigabyte even provided
them with a USB3 external hard drive, to test with. This looks to be
a nice boost from USB2 external drive performance.

As for Light Peak, I won't believe it until I see one
at Radio Shack or Walmart :-) Even if the manufacturing
cost was low, they probably won't be giving them away.

On one London Underground station just a couple of munths back, one of the
passenger information creens was faulty. As the PC behind it booted, it
listed out the available hardware including 6 UHCI ports (USB3 to you).
