Is there a Universal Docking Station using SuperSpeed USB 3.0?

Thanks for the information. I will keep an eye out of news on DisplayLink chips.

I said I would keep an eye out of DisplayLink news. I saw where I-O DATA DEVICE has introduced the USB-RGB3/D adapter in Japan. It uses the DisplayLink DL-3100 chip for connectivity. They claim it offers video compression and support for resolutions up to 2048 x 1152, including 1080p. We may be one step closer to introduction of this technology in the US.

Thanks for the headsup KD - hopefully they are just around the corner for the US (ans AUS )

I noticed this news this week. I don't know if the product is good, but it might be worth some research. The Targus ACP70US - USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Dual Video Docking Station has been announced. It features a USB 3.0 docking station, dual video ports providing beyond HD video and graphics with up to 2048 x 1152 resolution (1x DVI-I, 1x HDMI) and includes 1x DVI-I to VGA adapter, 1 HDMI to DVI-I adapter, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 4 USB 2.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port and audio In/Out ports. Once someone tries one I would be interested in reading about your experience with this product.

I saw where Toshiba announced at CES today that it is releasing the Dynadock USB 3.0 universal docking station. It has 2 USB2.0 and 4 USB 3.0 ports, plus an gigabit Ethernet connection and a HD digital video card that will support 2 monitors.

That said, this year I expect a lot of laptops getting Thunderbolt ports and Magma Thunderbolt Expansion | ExpressBox 3T this clearly says "As a general rule, if the PCIe card works in a workstation using Windows, it will most likely work with ExpressBox 3T, using Windows. " so very very likely you will see desktop video cards working with TB w/o modification giving a much, much superior experience to DisplayLink... heck, even Linux might work.
