"apparently" it's going to support USB flash drives. Which is Ideal for me because I have a 16gb USB flash drive

It's for, umm, y'know, those funky winter gloves that are heated by the power drawn from a USB port.

In all seriousness, it will probably be used to power external peripherals and dongles.

I have just recived my wii cooling system and it seems to be powered by 2 usb ports. You plug the cooling system into both of the usb's and it turns on. Soon i will make a thread showing you how it looks like.

The good thing about the cooling system is that it has a usb port in it so you will always have a spare.

A bad thing about it is that its loud.
