USB 3.0

USB is getting an upgrade. The new version will be ten times faster than the current version, bringing transfer speeds up to around 4.8 gigabits per second. The technology will be released next year, but there will be a lag between the release date and the time that it will be readily available for most computer users to purchase. Don’t look for devices to come equipped with 3.0 until 2009 or 2010.
