Where Is... USB 3.0 For Mac?

Steve Jobs is not allowed to begin a new lifetime until we see Mac USB 3.0 ports built-into their entire lineup. Instead we get ThunderBolt ports on the new MacBook Pro in early 2011 - and NOTHING - NOTHING! to plug into them yet.

Meanwhile, USB 3.0 hard drives, hubs, adapter cards and cables are and have been shipping for a year and thensome, and USB3 is lightyears ahead of 'lightpeak' aka ThunderBolt in terms of market presence and acceptance. There's even some select upgrade cards and OSX drivers for Macintosh Pro tower PCI-e slots and ExpressCard MacBooks that can let you enjoy SuperSpeed USB3 drives for backups - today.
