USB 3.0 will take peripheral devices into the next decade –

Yesterday, at Intel’s IDF, the “SuperSpeed” USB promotions group was announced. Their aim is to finalize the new USB 3.0 specification that will be taking peripheral devices and data sync-ing well into the next decade.
The USB 3.0 spec will be backwards-compatible with the USB 2.0 protocol that is in use today (which makes sense, seeing as how USB 2.0 is widely backwards-compatible with USB 1.0) – and is expected to be finalized by 2008.
USB 3.0 should redefine “high-speed” wired communications by the end of 2009, with mass-deployment by 2010. Where USB 2.0’s “high-speed” data transfer maxes out at 480 Mbps (megabits per second), USB 3.0’s “high-speed” transfer will top out at 4.8Gbps (GIGAbits per second!). We’re down with making USB faster, but what’s up with wireless solutions? Ultra-WideBand (UWB) anyone?
