USB 2

I was in a store the other day & noticed USB 2 cables.
I was wondering is USB to going to win the market over firewire in the long run?
Also does anyone know of any USB 2 devices?

USB2 is faster then FW am I right?
 
<<USB2 is faster then FW am right? >>
righ you are, but pretty soon, firewire will update its standard to be quite a bit faster than USB2
long run, i think USB will win
 
I wouldn't invest in it until you need it unless you have the option of them coming on your motherboard or not. Right now if you want to do video editing from your firewire compatable camcorder, firewire is the way to go. If you want backward compatability with USB, that wouldn't be a bad way to go either. Currently I don't think there is any hardware for USB2, but I'm sure we'll see portable cdrw's, scanners, and web cams taking advantage of the speed.
