The rumors of USB 3.0 is over now, because the specification has been officially announced. This new USB has the rate of 4.8 Gbit/s (600 MB/s), it’ll dump a 25GB HD file in about 70 seconds. The bad news, to use “the super speed”, you’ll need to buy the USB 3.0 cable which have extra pins, because it’s completely different with USB 2.0. The USB 3.0 will see you around in a year by now, which mean 2010.
