I'm guessing it is just a new standard....see this:

USB Implementers Forum set to announce specs of USB 3.0

***********************EXCERPT***********************

Hardware News November 16th, 2008

Market analyst Brian O’Rourke spoke about this upcoming update to USB: “USB 3.0 will take USB 2.0 to the next level and take away performance as an issue for data transfer in many devices. USB 3.0 will make it even more pervasive across devices than it is today.”

One of the major update would be faster speeds. Experts believe USB 3 would be around 10 times faster than USB 2.

It would also be capable of recharging more variety of devices. This update is likely to end the requirement of having a rival FireWire technology.

Sounds excellent.
