The USB 1.0 and 2.0 standards use the same cables. Depending on the device, the connectors may vary.
From Wikipedia:
"The USB 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 specifications define two types of connectors for the attachment of devices to the bus: A, and B. The USB 2.0 specification also introduces the mini-B connector, for smaller devices such as PDAs, mobile phones or digital cameras."

There is no difference between usb 1.0 and 2.0 cables. It's the hardware in your computer and external hardware that makes the difference in speed.
You can use your old cables for your 2.0 devices

Physically there is no difference that i've noticed.. only a tag that indicates the cable is 2.0.. the speed is the main difference of the two. One's capable of 1.5 mbps while 2.0 is 480.. i could be wrong i'm just saying this off the top of my head.

There's no difference in the cables. It's all about the port on the motherboard. The 1.0 ports communicate at 1.5 Mbps and the 2.0 ports communicate at 12.0 Mbps.

2.0 is newer as far as what the other end you can conect it with like a digital camera or a mp3 player. the 1.0 is the same on both ends it most likely not capable of connecting to any wireless devices

Yes. Normally there a difference in the speed. 2.0 has a better speed.
