Asus first to Feature USB 3.0

Well, it appears Asus canned the idea.

But now Asus informs us it has cancelled its P6X58 USB 3.0 motherboard. It has ceased to be, expired and gone to meet its maker, shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible.
We tried to find out why the board has been cut, as the interest in its arrival had been so high. However, the only explanation we got from an Asus spokesperson was that it's been cancelled "not for any particularly interesting reasons."

It really doesn't surprise me that they canceled it. There are not that many USB 3.0 devices out there that could justify paying the premium for it.

What was USB 3 supposed to be for? HD video works fine over USB 2. For everything else, there's eSATA or GigE.
 

Any one use these?
