Palm's "stealing" of the vendor ID is only a positive as it gives consumers more options.]]>Sep 23rd 2009 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/criminal offense, IMO.

Look at the video at 0:52, the top one is copying from the SSD to the Local disk while the bottom one is copying to a flashdrive.

Of course copying to the C drive(harddrive) is faster than copying to a flash drive.]]>Sep 23rd 2009 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/
Is it the extra pins that make it faster? Why couldn't they get USB 3.0 speeds long ago?

I have no idea how this stuff works... but I know some of you do...]]>Sep 23rd 2009 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/

Ain't technology grand? :)]]>Sep 23rd 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/
Furthermore, the signaling method, while still host-directed, is now asynchronous instead of polling. USB 3.0 utilizes a bi-directional data interface rather than USB 2.0's half-duplex arrangement, where data can only flow in one direction at a time. Without getting into any more technical mumbo jumbo, this all combines to give a ten-fold increase in theoretical bandwidth, and a welcome improvement noticeable by anyone when SuperSpeed USB products hit the market."

Basically USB runs in some fundamentally different, more efficient ways than USB 2 did. So it's not like they just 'sped up' USB 2.0. To put it in car terms USB 1 -> 2 was like taking a 4-banger and throwing a supercharger on it. USB 2 -> 3 is more like trading in your 4 cylinder econobox for V8 sportster. The backward compatibility really is possible because there just happens to be enough room in the plugs to put the same old 4/5 pin arrangement from the old standard along with all the pins for the new standard. They won't both be used all at the same time.

If I'm wrong somewhere in there, please correct me...]]>Sep 23rd 2009 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 4:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 4:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 4:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/]]>Sep 23rd 2009 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/USB 3 cable>USB 3 port & controller.]]>Sep 23rd 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/point-grey-puts-usb-3-0-into-a-webcam-along-with-other-telltale/]]>Sep 23rd 2009 6:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/]]>Sep 23rd 2009 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 23rd 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Cause ISPs certainly wont deal w/ all that uncompressed uploads.]]>Sep 24th 2009 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/usb-3-0-has-a-superspeed-coming-out-party-at-idf/Sep 24th 2009 2:59AM
