Intel, Microsoft,
HP, TI, NEC and NXP and several other companies are now working on
the third version of the USB standard, which should be ready by the
second half of 2008 and promises to be about 10 times faster than the
current USB 2.0.
The new version will be
able to provide data transfer speeds of up to 600MBps.
The first
devices to support USB 3.0 are expected to appear in 2009 or 2010.
