Market research firm <a href="http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20090624PR207.html">In-Stat believes next-gen Superspeed technology (USB 3.0) will provide the necessary impetus to the sale of USB-enabled devices. </a>The actual rate of growth will hinge on how quickly Superspeed technology replaces its predecessor in PC peripherals and consumer electronics. </p> <p>&quot;All PCs, and most PC peripherals have transitioned from full-speed to high-speed. Most of these devices will eventually transition to SuperSpeed, the only issue is the speed of the transition,&quot; said Brian O’Rouke, an analyst with In-Stat. As per In-Stat’s prognosis, Superspeed USB 3.0 devices will capture 25% of the USB market by 2013, with USB-enabled computer mice persisting as the most populous USB-enabled device category.<br /> <div style="text-align: center"><img src="/files/u46168/USB_3_0_SuperSpeed_USB.jpg" width="300" height="158" /></div> http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/superspeed_will_drive_usb_sales_instat#comments News hardware Peripherals SuperSpeed USB 2.0 USB 3.0 usb-enabled devices Sun, 28 Jun 2009 07:20:47 -0500 Pulkit Chandna 6778 at http://www.maximumpc.com
