Re: Is Thunderbolt a dud / dead protocol?

I suspect there's a significant threshold to cross before a new protocol such as this gains wider traction and I'd imagine there's also a significant risk involved too in adopting a new protocol at an early stage before it is established, not knowing how widely the protocol will be supported by peripheral device manufacturers.

But we should be grateful that someone, in this case Apple, are prepared to take that risk and hopefully manufacturers will follow suit. I guess it's a chicken and egg situation of sorts. Certainly the Thunderbolt specs are great and when we finally see adapters coming out, will make protocols such as FireWire more future proof.

It's interesting that UAD, a new player in the audio interface market are offering Thunderbolt, I'm guessing we'll see established manufacturers following suit soon.
