The Register has a brief look posted (with photos and diagrams) of "USB
3.0, the upcoming version of the universal add-on standard
re-engineered for the HD era, made a small appearance at the Consumer
Electronics Show (CES)." The posting explains that USB 3.0 "wasn't
demonstrated in operation, but we did get to see what the new
connectors look like." How does it handle backward compatibility? The
extra pins needed for USB 3.0 "are placed behind the USB 1.1/2.0 ones.
USB 3.0 connectors and receptacles will be deeper than the current
ones."
