I was excited to read that Intel was showcasing at San Francisco IDF 2009. Light Peak is a new Technology with a speed of 10GB/sec to transfer data between devices. To my mind if this delivers on it's promise it's sure to replace Firewire and USB.



The other rumour circulating is that Light Peak was developed by Intel at the specific request of Apple, so hopefully cross platform compatibility is assured.

Definitely one to keep an eye on.
