Samsung Galaxy Note 3 And USB 3 Combines Together

Samsung just launched 3 new products, Galaxy note 3, Galaxy Gear and Note 10.1 2014. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is supposed to be the only phone that has USB 3.0 connectivity.

The benefit of USB 3.0 is that it offers faster data transfer rates, which might increase the speed of transferring music, videos, and other stuff to and from your phone. The speed will totally depend on the quality of the storage Samsung has packed with the Galaxy Note 3. With USB 3.0, users will be able to charge the phone directly from the computer much faster than before. As USB 2.0 ports generally provide up to 500mA current, while USB 3.0 provides current at 900mA which might boost a quick charge.

The USB 3.0 adds a different style of charging port to the Note 3, its bigger than the normal port we are used to see. The USB 3.0 cable can be familiar to the ones who uses the latest portable hard-drives, this new port can be used from either side(backwards-compatible).

While you impatiently wait for the Galaxy Note 3 to be available soon, when you own one do not forget to get your charger out with you as your friends charger might not be an alternative this time.

Windows 8 Can be Run from a USB Stick

A leaked copy of Windows 8 spread like wildfire in the recent week. Daily new tidbits and features are being discovered about the new mammoth from Microsoft. The newest information rocking the market is the fact that the user with a retail disk can make actual usb copies of the operating system and carry them, like portable ubuntu.

This could also give piracy a whole new push with cds becoming the old and portable os becoming the new. Bootable Windows 8 on a USB 3.0 drive anyone? As tempting as it may sound, a minimum 16GB pendrive is required for the task and looks like USB 3.0 is yet to be found commercially.
