On the one hand this sounds like the sort of thing a purely reactive company would say, but on the other Apple are probably right that USB 3 would make no difference to 95% of purchasers.

I fully support USB 3.0. What is Jobs talking about?
He's talking about the fact that Intel (the one-"L" Intel) still isn't building USB 3.0 support into their chipsets. Try to keep up.
