Mobile Computers to Adopt USB 3.0 Faster than Desktop Systems

@ 2010/06/14
The potential to eliminate other connections to save space and allow smaller designs in the future is driving quicker integration of SuperSpeed USB into netbooks and other mobile PCs, reports In-Stat. Today, 97% of the mobile PC market uses USB 2.0, however by 2014 In-Stat expects the market to transition completely to SuperSpeed USB.
“In the past, new interface technologies were adopted more quickly in desktops. However, the landscape is shifting. Mobile PCs are omitting optical and large hard disk drives, which increases the need for faster interfaces to connect to external storage solutions. This makes SuperSpeed USB a higher priority in mobile PCs,” said Brian O’Rourke, In-Stat analyst.
