The world's best-known computer peripheral interface once again receives a major revamp (following Wireless USB) to stay current with modern demands for connectivity bandwidth. Dubbed "SuperSpeed USB", USB 3.0 promises a major leap forward in transfer speeds and capability, while maintaining backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 devices.

it's not as if i'm cursing the slow speeds of my usb 2 and firewire devices, but faster can't be a bad thing i guess.

It's out right now. Western Digital has USB 3.0 drives but they're only for PC.

so would this be faster and more reliable than FW800 for doing audio/ video stuff?

Firewire is about 90 MBs.
USB 3 is around 5 Gigs per second (theoretically). So waaay faster.Plus, I think you can plug it right into your USB 2.0 port as long as your OS supports it.
