I’ve got two concerns about Light Peak:

One, it’s a year off for desktops and two years off for mobile devices.

Two, it seems to be playing the role of Firewire by going up against USB3, which is starting to trickle out into the market.

Now, granted, Light Peak is far more versatile than USB3, but that doesn’t ensure adoption, especially if it’s significantly more expensive to manufacture than USB3. Maybe the two can coexist, but they’ve got some overlap.

Nah, no overlap, I think this is a game-changer and will over-whelm all other connectors. Goodbye SATA, USB 3.0, HDMI, VGA, etc. Finally we get rid of the messy mass of sphagetti all over and FAST, really really FAST, connection speeds. What's not to like? And I bet this will come over us like a tidal wave.

"Now, granted, Light Peak is far more versatile than USB3..."

NOT granted. Do you understand how a flash drive (for example) works? Can you power an external device over Light Peak?
