Dvice says that the new protocol will be less prone to disconnects, thanks to 3.0’s new Enhanced Power Control, and according to the press release 3.0 will have wi-fi speeds, making it possible to transfer “an entire music library, a complete DVD, a vacation’s worth of photos, all within seconds at the touch of a button and wirelessly will now be possible.” I remain skeptical on that last bit, but I am excited to see just what’s under the hood of updated tech in a few weeks.
