I wonder about durability.  It is fiber optic after all; correct?

So when comes the day you put your phone in the docking station at home 
or plug into work and perhaps lease a little dock at the cyber cafe.  
Even better, a docking bay in your laptop.  Looks like photronics are

This technology could very easily start replacing bus systems with a 
possibility of synchronous connectivity between hdd and processor.  Time 
to start thinking /inside/ the box again. :-P
