Intel has announced that the firm will introduce USB 3.0 next year. It should be ten times faster than USB 2.0. The company also confirmed that the speed boost is made possible by using fiber-optics in addition to the regular wires. In addition, the new USB 3.0 port will be backwards-compatible with current USB ones. For your info, the current hard-drives, mouse and printers are probably too limited to make use of the new 4.8 Gigabit/sec bandwidth, but we could use the bandwidth to transport HD video signals and other intensive data migration. Although USB 3 should work in 2008, it will take a couple more years to develop products.
