Karry Auto (a phonetic mistranslation of the English word "carry") is a division of the Chinese car maker Chery, infamous for getting sued by Chevy for knocking off its designs. Meizu... well, we're guessing you're a little more familiar with the history there. The two companies have joined forces in China, with Karry Auto giving away a Meizu M8 SE with every tiny truck or little van sold until April 30. Should you have any lingering doubts about the legitimacy of the designs of either cars or phones involved in this deal, just take a long look at that guy up there on the right. Everything is A-OK.

ASUS [2357] have announced that they are pushing USB 3.0 in a big way by including the standard on each and every Eee PC that they make from now on. As well as creating Eee PC USB 3.0 netbooks the company will also include USB 3.0 ports on ASUS PC’s and the Eee Box devices.

This move will help bring the new USB 3.0 faster standard in to mainstream although it could be a while till hard drives and other hardware can keep up with those speeds.

“Asustek also claimed that the PLX high-speed transmission chip that the company adopts on its motherboard can boost the transmission speed of its USB 3.0 technology to 74.38% faster than its competitors.”

It isn’t clear when the first netbook, PC or Eee Box will show up with USB 3.0 ports, but once they start showing up all models after that will come as standard with the new ports.
