The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE has approved 1394-2008 or the faster version of the twelve-year old FireWire interface.

Firewire, the favorite interface of the Consumer Electronics World will push its speed up to 3.2Gbps, dubbed as S3200. At the same time, IEEE also gave the green light to S1600 which offers 1.6Gbits. The new standard will use the existing 9-pin FireWire 800 connectors.

Hmmnn… looks like there is going to be a big competition between USB 3.0 and the new FireWire standard.
