USB 3.0 is coming

USB 3.0 is expected to hit the market in early 2010. It will have been 10 years since the now ubiquitous USB 2.0 was introduced (April 2000). The current USB 2.0 specification runs at a theoretical maximum speed of 480Mbps, and can supply power. But the USB 3.0 promises a theoretical maximum rate of 5Gbps, meaning it's 10 times faster than USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is also full duplex, meaning it can upload and download simultaneously. USB 2.0 is only half duplex.

Comparing with eSATA and FireWire 800, USB 3.0 is far superior. eSATA, an external connection that runs at the same speed as the internal SATA 1.0 bus, has a maximum theoretical of 3Gbps. This makes USB 3.0 faster than eSATA and about six times faster than FireWire 800 (full duplex at 800Mbps). USB 3.0 also provides another advantage; while eSATA is faster than FireWire 800, unlike FireWire it cannot supply power. USB 3.0 has the advantage of being faster than both, even while supplying power.Finally, USB 3.0 has improved power management, meaning that devices can move into idle, suspend and sleep states. This potentially means more battery life out of laptops and other battery-based USB-supporting devices like cameras and mobile phones.

Intel already showed it in CES 2009. Wait till the shipping starts...

Samsung'sl 7mm Thick TV

Samsung Electronics plans to introduce a flat-panel thin TV as thin as just 6.5-millimeters at CES this week. Reports also says it has a LED backlight. The backlight sits behind the LCD panel and generates the light that shines through it to allow the image to be seen. Most LCD panels use thicker backlights that make use of fluorescent lights but LEDs are fast finding favor with TV makers for their thinness and better overall light.

Till now the thinnest is Philip's 8mm prototype TV shown at IFA last year. Sony's 9.9 LCD TV is the thinnest one available in the market. The Samsung's TV is expected to be shown on Wednesday's News conference. So wait and see.
