Yeah, I can see more external graphic cards, hdtv tuners and wireless internet dongles on the market utilising this tech. Would be good, however, if there were faster disk drives to take advantage of the transfer rates but by then eSATA III (6Gb/s) or even IV will have been released.
Yeah, I was quite surprised when I saw the new plug type as I'm pretty sure I'd heard they were keeping the same type.

Standard usb connectors have never been to crash hot. the new design fixes a few flaws, namely the snapping of the plastic rectangular guide as well as poor connections due to infirm joints... extra connectors were required for error correction and interleave so they couldnt use the old format. I expect these would be pretty durable as theres no way you're going to jam it in the wrong way (as ive seen some USB sticks done)

surly they didnt need to change the plug type and could of made it backward compatible with USB 2 and 1.1

you guys clearly haven't read the actual article - end A will still be the same physical size of current USB. The pic on the link is for end B.

End A from the full article below:
