I'm sure many of our readers have come across a situation where they'd have liked USB to carry a bit more power to their devices. Your phone or iPod, charging ever-so-slowly, or perhaps an external drive that only works on "powered" USB ports — or must be plugged into a wall socket. A wall socket, in this day and age! I ask you!Fortunately, the SuperSpeed USB group (or whatever shadowy illuminatus it is that truly controls USB) has decreed that the next generation of the USB 3.0 standard will include support for a shocking 100 watts of power. That's enough to keep ten drives running, or an LCD, or even an entire laptop. And believe it or not, it uses the same cables and ports we've already got.
