You left out poorly marketed.  In case you weren't already confused 
enough about USB 1.1 vs USB 2, now the USB people are redefining the 
specs so that both can be called USB 2 -- see 
<http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/18/2025210>.  One of the two 
USB 2's is full speed, the other is high speed.  I'll leave you to 
guess which one you have to ask for if you want firewire-like speed, or 
what fraction of consumers will guess wrong and be left with the 
impression that USB 2 is still slow.
