It's backwards compatible with the jacks we currently have. I don't see why 3.0 wouldn't be accepted. Besides, 5 GB/s is no laughing matter. In fact the generation after the next should be using flash drives, if the next one isn't.

 

I do think that it will overtake discs but it wont untill people finally have usb3 ports even though it is backwards compatible, it wont go at the same speed. the soonest that usb3 will be widely accepted is 2012, untill then discs will still be on top.
