It doesn't look that hard to build cables. > It is harder to build working silicon (5 gigabits/sec). I found a few USB 3.0 items listed in a few shops in Hong Kong's Golden Shopping Arcade. But they are too expensive when they were supposed to become popular soon and hence be cheap. -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

It's just quite tricky. Factories would in the end create something sub-standard when these toys are mass-produced. -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

I think you underestimate the capability of modern molding and fabrication techniques. Except, maybe, in China.
