Firewire 2 @ MWSF?

by

ITWorld reports that a slip up may reveal Firewire 2 is coming tomorrow:

    Several hours after announcing that it is introducing desktop hard drives that connect to Apple Computer Inc. computers using the new high-speed 800M bps (bits per second) FireWire standard, SmartDisk Corp. asked that the news be "killed due to premature release."


    The aborted news suggests that Steve Jobs, chief executive officer of Apple, may announce FireWire2, or FireWire 800, in his keynote speech at MacWorld Expo Tuesday

The question becomes - which hardware will sport the new interface?

Addendum: Here is the actual press release - link courtesy of MacGeneration.com
