FireWire is great in all, but I would rather see everyone just stick to one connection type (plus firewire is only really used anymore in hard drives).]]>May 18th 2009 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/May 18th 2009 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/May 18th 2009 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/May 18th 2009 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/
1) It has not been proven yet whether or not USB3 will be faster. USB 2's maximum signaling rate is 480mbps, yet it never gets over 260mbps throughput in the real world.

2) Firewire is a far better DMA architecture that doesn't need USB's CPU intervention, carriers far more power than USB3, and can be daisy chained.

Unfortunately however, as has been seen with FW800 and USB2, the better technology doesn't always win. I'm sure USB3 will become the de-factor high-speed standard. For now, I will use eSATA or FW800. I REFUSE to use USB2 for external harddrives.. that is a freakin joke!]]>May 19th 2009 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/

sorry guys, had to. =P

Palm Pre and the Zune phone will have USB too!]]>May 18th 2009 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/May 18th 2009 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/

2) Apple bashes it for being crappy.
3) 1-2 years later, they re-hash idea and become self-proclaimed gods.
4) CRAZY PROFIT!!]]>May 18th 2009 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/May 18th 2009 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/May 18th 2009 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/May 18th 2009 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/May 18th 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/May 18th 2009 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/
Large volume commercial production of a chip does NOT start "soon after" sampling... I'd guess you won't see USB3 until Christmas at the earliest.]]>May 19th 2009 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/nec-japan-announces-its-superspeed-usb-3-0-controller/May 19th 2009 7:02AM
