By. 5:22 am, November 5, 2010. Apple’s not ready to throw their hat into the USB 3.0 ring just yet. As Steve Jobs made abundantly clear in an last week, Cupertino’s doesn’t see USB 3.0 taking off, at least until Intel starts officially supporting it and evidence suggests that Apple might avoid USB 3.0 entirely in favor of. But what if you want USB 3.0 on your Mac now?
IOS developer reached out to Amazon about the development of an Instant Video app for tvOS Instant Video and received a surprisingly revealing reply that the app is already in development and should be out “within a few weeks.” I sent feedback to Amazon via the Amazon Instant Video iOS app about supporting tvOS. Amazon prime video app download. That could change in just a few weeks though, according to an Amazon employee who let it slip that the company is working on an app for the new Apple TV. AirPlaying can be unreliable at times and you can’t use certain apps without cutting off your Amazon stream.
Well, Apple’s not serving up official drivers yet, but LaCie’s stepping up to fill the void: they’ve just announced for their line of solutions. To get USB 3.0 on your Mac, first you’ll need to buy one of LaCie’s cards: either a $49.99 USB 3.0 PCI Express Card or the $59.99 USB 3.0 ExpressCard/34, both of which will bring a couple of USB 3.0 (and backwards compatible USB 2.0) ports to your Mac Pro or MacBook. Then install the free driver and you’re ready to pick yourself up one of those blindingly flash USB 3.0 external drives that are all the rage right now. Not a bad solution for Mac Pros, but ExpressCards can be fairly irritating to have hanging out of a MacBook, and obviously this won’t help you if you’ve got a MacBook Air, Mac mini or iMac.
Still, if you’re committed to being on the cutting edge, LaCie’s happy to take your cash and make it happen.
