the three versions of the Universal Serial Bus that USB-IF (UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS - IMPLEMENTATION FORUM) has standardized to date:
• USB 1.0. The original spec, approved in 1996, defined a maximum speed of 12 megabits per second (12 Mbps), primarily for low-end printers and digital cameras. (The technical documentation at the time called this the "medium-speed" rate. This recognized the fact that many fast devices, such as disk drives and video cameras, would need a higher rate.) A second, "low-speed" rate of 1.5 Mbps was designed to accomodate keyboards, mice, and other low-bandwidth devices.
• USB 1.1. Minor technical revisions were adopted in 1998. The original transfer rates of 12 Mbps and 1.5 Mbps remained the same. The 1.1 version of USB became widely available in devices of all kinds.
• USB 2.0. USB was faced with a competing standard — FireWire (with speeds up to 400 Mbps as defined in IEEE 1394, even faster in IEEE 1394b). Partly in response, USB 2.0 was adopted in 2000. It added to USB a new, 480 Mbps rate that the documentation entitled "high-speed". Printers, scanners, and other devices that support this faster rate have emerged in the years since.
Now even faster versions of USB are coming up.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to interface devices. It was designed for computers such as PCs and the Apple Macintosh, but its popularity has prompted it to also become commonplace on video game consoles, PDAs, cellphones; and even devices such as televisions and home stereo equipment (e.g., mp3 players), and portable memory devices.
