Portable USB! A PC will no longer be required to use devices. HP hopes you can be able to hook a digicam or something up to a printer and print automagically. I wonder if it'll become a standard. It is a modification of the USB 2.0 spec.

Quote

Several manufacturers, including Hewlett-Packard, are evaluating ways to use an offshoot of the Universal Serial Bus 2.0 specification called USB On-the-Go. Using it, a person could plug a handheld or digital camera straight into a printer to produce a photo. PDAs also could swap documents directly or back up data by connecting directly to a portable hard drive. The technology is also expected to be used in cell phones and MP3 players.
