Yeah that's why even Apple up on FW and stopped removing it from their computers
Or... they needed something even more versatile than FireWire, with smaller connectors for smaller devices.

Still dont know what i need it for
Thunderbolt seemed cool but is obviously DOA. Can't wait for the new faster USB 3 on my next mac.

Bottom line is FW and Thunderbolt are dead, and USB 3 is the future. The sooner Apple realizes this the better. But we are talking about stubborn Apple....

Haha!
what are these lower class people doing on an apple forum.
Exactly what i thought. He/she has probably more money than the average Apple customer

That had everything to do with Intel not supporting USB 3.0 before.Perhaps that is why they finally relented and gave us all USB 3.
That's the whole point of Thunderbolt and what most people seem to completely miss... You won't need to get a new Mac to get USB 3.0, all you'll have to do is buy a USB 3.0 adapter.
Thunderbolt future proofs.
Aw got Thunderbolt and Lightning mixed up and thought they dropped the prices of lightning cables/accessories! haha!
This is a niche market. Read the interviews with Jason Ziller back in 2011 about Thunderbolt, he's clear on Intel's stance for the technology. Apple seems to want to push it at the consumer level (on their MacBook Air line-up) but that is simply not the plan for it.
Cool. I'll buy one of these to connect to my.... nothing.
I wonder if I can write a letter to Apple that since I'm not using thunderbolt or plan to use it if I could get a refund for the unused portion sold to me on my MBP. Hmm
Perfect response
The number of devices that use thunderbolt is laughable
No one bought into apples connector, if they really wanted people and companies to jump aboard these would be $19.99 and $9.99
Judging by this... How much will the 10 metre one cost?

I doubt that. Ivy Bridge does support USB 3.0 without additional hardware.Perhaps that is why they finally relented and gave us all USB 3.
