I would love this to make my mobile for example uber quick when it comes to syncing music and stuff :( I know thunderbolt is quick as well, but USB 3 is getting better and I heard rumors that soon they will be making it as quick as thunderbolt :D which would also be awesome :D would love some thoughts on this...

PROFILEYEAH

What do people even put in these things?

Well, true enough, but atleast we had mini usb jacks. I don't really understand why external harddrives use micro usb 3, while there is more then enough space for a proper full size usb 3 port. (a or b)

Thunderbolt is expensive and the list of compatible devices is a short one. Those two facts are tied together quite tightly.

 

Since it's expensive not many computers have it so not many devices have it so the price stays high.

 

I think Apple is the only company really making use of it.

 

More haswell boards seem to have it though, who knows maybe we'll see a change in the market.

The USB 3 controller probably takes up too much logic board space. Haswell has a whole chipset with it inbuilt. A big chipset with a heatsink is as large as some phones!

 

Plus, phone manufactures are cheapskates. 

Aesthetics of rigs matter

Over 9000 hours in paint - the extra bit is needed, as explained in the pic.

Because it's not worth it !!!!!!!!

 

The controller is going to be more complex, everything's going to be a tad bit more expensive... and for what, writing on that 20Mb/s capped eMMC card inside your phone (applicable for the majority of devices) ??  :blink:
