How about this....???? so far there is a 1.1, Im sure there will be a 2.0
Now, I don't think it could be utilized by current PDA CPU's / hardware. Now, the max. USB transfer speed you can achieve with hi-end PDA's is some 400-500 kbytes/s, which is still considerably lower than the practical max. speed of USB 1.1 (950 kbytes/s). In the future, however, with far faster CPU's and far more advanced PDA hardware, it may be important to produce USB2 host cards. Now, however, their capabilities just coulnd't be used (not even in a 624 MHz machine like the hx4700) because of the CPU/PDA bottleneck.
