The USB Standards setting organization has announced that USB 3.0
will be headed to smartphones and tablets by the end of 2012, and it
looks like devices will get a microUSB 3.0 port.
The new USB 3.0 on your tablet or smartphone will enable faster
data
transfer between you device and your computers, with speeds of around
800 Mbps, this means that a file which would normally take 15 minutes to
transfer would only take around 1 minute and 10 seconds.
Intel has also announced that they intend to introduce their rival
Thunderbolt technology to mobile devices this year, but this shouldn’t
cause a problem as the majority of new PCs will come with both USB 3.0
and Thunderbolt connections.
