However, it is believed that some other "grandees" of the world of electronics, not included in the list of the first companies to support Intel, prepare their own solutions to the port Thunderbolt. According to the sources site Nikon Rumors, the digital SLR camera Nikon D4 will be the first product of its kind, offering a connection through the above-mentioned technologies Intel.

Herself Intel hopes to carry out a vast expansion of Thunderbolt on the market of computers and computer peripherals to the end of 2011, and emphasizes that Apple does not have any exclusive rights and privileges to release devices with the new interface. Manufacturers of computer accessories and peripherals may already implement Thunderbolt in their products (and without paying some fees to the developer).

While high-speed data transmission with a "reflex" to the computer – one of the obvious uses Thunderbolt, the main "narrow neck" may be the processor speed and the speed of reading data from memory cards. And the only thing which currently come in handy so much speed Thunderbolt – it's broadcast shoot HD-video directly to a MacBook Pro (real time).
