USB 3.0 Gets a Speed

USB 3.0 is fast, very fast, and that is exciting. It is exciting more for what can be accomplished using USB than the speeds that it achieves. At 4.8Gbit/s (maximum theoretical) or 600 MB/S (maximum achieved) it would seem plenty fast enough to handle just about any task that you can throw at it (including video?). At ten times the speed of USB 2.0, this is one step closer to universal cable utopia.
