Well, faster is faster. And better. USB 3.0 has been around for a long time and there is not much hardware available for it. Some hard drives, that’s it. Thunderbolt is much more versatile and much more useful. The connectors however need to get smaller. Thunderbolt also has the option to go optical which is a very good thing.

I totally agree. Nobody does have them with lightpeak and so your right it doesnt make sense to have the connector yet.

I wish thousand times my Macs have a HDMI,,, no, they have to be different so they can sell $30 a pop for that garbage mini-displayport adaptor and they can’t even get it right when first launch.

Yeah I mean who wants a massively faster interface for video cameras or external hard drives because nobody has those…Short sighted of HP but they sell cheap disposable PCs and they know they can always put Thunderbolt on later when there are more TB devices available plus use it to upsell owners to new PC’s. Its only a matter of time.
