Industry leaders are poised to start rolling out devices enabled with a new form of USB -- USB Type-C -- featuring a small, robust connector that can handle 20 Gbps and 100W.
Have you heard about USB Type-C? If not, then you'd better prepare yourself, because this little beauty is poised to take the world by storm.

This new USB incarnation offers so many advantages that I predict the rate of its deployment will make all of our heads spin like tops.
