USB 3.0 - Due out by mid next year

Imagine being able to transfer data down a USB connection at a speed of 4.8 Gbps! Today's current fastest rate is 480 Mbps which is already decent - the improvement is 10 fold. Well imagine no more, as of mid next year we should start seeing new USB 3.0 specification being rolled out.

The improved data rate is a result of the addition of fibre optic technology in the USB cables. Don't worry USB 3.0 will be backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices and will also be more energy efficient.

Logitech Premium 4-Port USB Hub for Notebooks: Noice!

USB ports: Can't get enough of 'em! Everything seems to be plugged into a USB port these days, cup warmers, drink chillers, foot warmers, fans, even missile launchers (the faomy non-nuclear war head types). But for some reason, computers and even more so with laptops, the number of usb ports is very limited. By the time you have the essentials (see above) plugged in, there's no more room for the mouse, keyboard and printer! The Logitech Premium 4-Port USB Hub for Notebooks solves this problem by giving you 4 extra usb ports. It's small and has been made for the notebook worker to keep things at a minimum. A nice simple design by Logitech, this gadget makes USB ports look sexy and uber gadgety-chic!

Features of the Logitech Premium 4-Port USB Hub for Notebooks:
Control
- High-performance USB 2.0: Transfer large files faster-at speeds up to 480 Mbps.
Convenience
- Smart indicator lights: Check connections at a glance with individual port connection lights.
