By the end of the year USB3.0 will be a lot cheaper and people will start buying products that use it. In 2011 it will become mainstream if manufacturers really a good amount of products on the market. In this flooding the market with products will bring the prices down and it greatly increase the speed at which USB 3.0 will be adopted.

awww man thats such a shame that it wont be adopted into mainstream until 2012 the worlds gonna end that year :[

Windows 8 in 2012... that IS the end of the world.

On December 21st, 2012, the machines running Windows 8 RC will become self aware and begin their global war against humanity. By exploiting Internet Explorer 6's vulnerabilities they will gain access to the nuclear missile launch codes and will launch a preemptive strike against the world's major cities. The subsequent war of man and machines will last for a century and eventually render the planet uninhabitable. The humans will attempt to launch a messenger back in time to warn us against ever installing Windows 8, but because one intern messed up some calculations that messenger will instead be sent further back in time to the Mayans.

So remember, if you ever install Windows 8 the machines will take over, and you don't want that, do you? Because that's what will happen

\o/
 
More speed is always welcome :)
I think it the adoption rate greately depends on the price of USB3 devices.
 
Depends on what they term as "Mainstream".

People who post here will be interested & probably adopt it forthwith if they have need for the extra speed.

John & Jane Doe users will either have not heard about it, have no use for it, or ask "What is USB?".

I guess thats "mainstream"...???
 
I guess they'll be using this USB 3 stuff to make Windows 8 "mind blowing" like what was going around recently, huh? lmao. http://msftkitchen.com/2010/02/windows-8-mind-blowing.html
 
Considering the amount of gadgets we own that already are USB 2.0, the cost that means to integrate USB 3.0 in the MB for a couple (if not only 1) of devices that you might probably own, sounds odd.
 
Yeah of course they are talking until completely replaces USB 2.0, this makes sense. But who waits till then? New computers by the summer will have USB 3.0 ports everywhere.
 
Sweet! This is good news to my ears can't wait till everything starts using SuperSpeed you need to realize now people want their data fast! I think 2012 is too late sure other companies will offer 3.0 but Dell is a huge part of this, I was think they should've been the first one to start bringing out superspeed out on there systems. I just love how technology grows! 5 years from now probably gonna hear about USB 4.0 lol maybe a bit more than 5 years or not :|
 
I predict USB 3.0 will gain traction in 2011. External harddrives will be on the shelves just waiting and in the meanwhile be compatible back to 1.1.

What's really scary though is Windows 8.
