The standard that we have been hearing about for the last 2 years may actually be on its way to the market later this year.
As of yesterday manufacturers can have their products tested and if they receive SuperSpeed USB certification from the USB Implementers Forum they will get the new logo slapped on.
I previously talked about USB 3.0 when I got word of the new Asus P6X58 motherboard that was utilizing USB 3.0 ports. In case you are totally clueless the current standard is USB 2.0 which is rated at 480Mbps while USB 3.0 is rated at 4.8Gbps.
We got excited for a minute when we first got word that we would be seeing this bundle headed to the US. This holiday season will bring us a black Wiimote with motion plus bundle as well as a black nunchuck which will be sold separately. Still no word as to whether or not we are going to be getting a black model in the US. The last official word was a “you wish USA”.
Maybe once the Wii sales begin to plummet we will get to see some black in our Nintendo department.
With all the rumors swirling around about Apple products they are we are lucky we only have 7 days left to wait.
What will we be seeing this year? Apple tablets? Apple iPods with cameras? Death to the classic iPod?(notice the headphones in the image above are plugged into the bottom of the iPod like a Touch not on top like a Classic) Will we see MMS for the iPhone in the US?
All of these questions and more answered Sept 9.
