USB ad-hoc networks > Ethernet lulz?
Seriously... I only have 100mbps on my ethernet... and it really only transfers at about 10mbps (partially because I only transfer between my laptop and PC, laptop being wifi) so this could be pretty sweet for transferring files between them.
Ethernet has already evolved to 10 Gbps, so twice that of USB 3.0. Plus, ethernet has recognition and support in the industry, and existing hardware can be easily and cheaply upgraded with phased implementation, giving it an advantage. Also, USB is only short range.

I think that applications for USB 3.0 will be developed though.
I've heard that people working with DV are restricted by the speed of FireWire and USB 2.0. Maybe USB 3.0 would be useful to them.
