Apple's announcement of Thunderbolt on Feb 24th was greeted by excitement, as
Mac users became aware of the tantalising possibilities of this new high-speed
port. There's lots of things Thunderbolt can do that were simply not possible

very fast external drives like RAID arrays or sold state drives. Our own Chris
Ward went so far as to ask if Thunderbolt could foretell the end of the line
for the Mac Pro as we know it, by allowing a Mac mini sized chassis to be
endlessly exapanded via external Thunderbolt-connected peripherals.

And yet... ten months later, if you go to Apple's store and search for
'Thunderbolt', you'll see just 11 products, three of which are Apple's own
ultra-expensive Thunderbolt Display (plus its VESA mount) and the official
Thunderbolt cable. There's three LaCie BigDisks, at $500 for 1 TB and $600 ...
