What does it cost the OEMs to implement PoweredUSB compared to using a standard power supply with a USB port?
HP/IBM/NCR/Fujitsu/Wincor all have PoweredUSB built onto the motherboard. In sufficient volume, the price of a motherboard change can be justified. In a true PC application, products like internal PCI cards and external hubs are available at a reasonable price. 6. Power supplies are very cheap and the fear that there is no cost justification to implement this standard. PoweredUSB is the retail connection standard being built by POS manufacturers and required by many retailers. If a retailer accepts power supply bricks for every peripheral, then that is the endusers decision. From a product perspective, customers will demand this type of POS connectivity so the manufacturer should have this as an option. 7. What is the maturity of this standard? It seems to be more bleeding edge rather then cutting edge. The standard does not seem to be accepted by the USB standard organizations. Has this started and when is it due? PoweredUSB will never be approved by USB.org. USB.org is not interested
