  I would hope so as well.

  It is good for scanners, joysticks, digital video cameras [both portable
still cameras and QuickCam style] and plenty of other things.  The main
problem with USB is that it is new and doesn't have much market
penetration yet.  My Mobo has USB support, but since it didn't come with a
USB cable I am less likely to try USB products.

  A USB port on a notebook would be very useful.  A notebooks expansion
options are generally much more limited that a desktop and that one
connector could do many things.  Once more than a handful of USB products
ship that is..  =)
