USB 3.0 has just been announced which promises data transfer speeds up to 10 times faster (4.8 Gigabits per second) than current technology. Low power usage is also a major new feature, important for those of us on laptops or using battery powered devices (iPods etc.). Backwards compatibility is also assured though don't expect to see USB 3 devices on the market til sometime 2009.

Jaysus that is fast... With speeds like that you'd be hoping to see soundcards that go above the standard 8 channel I/O...
Firewire 800 wasn't really developed by many companies. Theres the RME 800 and is that it? Maybe they were all holding out for USB 3.
