USB 3 Is Ready To Rock The World

The infamous USB 2 port is ubiquitous now (that means it's everywhere!!). But the USB 3 format is ready to roll out and become a new standard in the near future.

I was really jazzed when I read about it in a recent article at CNET Here is an exerpt that highlights the main advantages of the new USB 3 technology:

USB 3's sales pitch is seemingly a slam dunk: its 5-gigabit-per-second data-transfer rate is 10 times faster than USB 2's, it cuts power consumption by a third, and it can be used to send 80 percent more electrical current so that phones or other devices can charge faster over USB.

Is that cool or what? Everything is going faster - our digital lives are speeding up!

So be ready to adopt the new USB 3 format into your life - coming to a geek device near you soon!
