The only people who need the USB 3 transfer speeds are going to be Pro users. For everyone else, it doesn't matter.
What? Do you realize how insanely slow USB 2 is? Good luck transferring even a tiny ass video. I don't think you need to be a pro user to want to transfer some media from your phone and not take all day..
It's not that slow, how'd you think I transferred stuff off a CompactFlash card with raw files off my DSLR before USB 3.0? I'd regularly dump several GBs worth of files out after a shoot. It'd take a few minutes but it's not the end of the world.
