The cruise seems to be identical to the kaiser, and HTC says that it is USB 2.0

Do you think that the kaiser can be updated with the cruise drivers ?

I'm guessing that the USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 depends on the hardware - UNLESS HTC have decided to build in some useful hardware that we can't use... this has obviously never happened before such as gps chip in Hermes, video chip in Kaiser etc...

Over to the clever people - are our usb ports limited by hardware or software?

Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350347 - USB 2.0 Full Speed (which is what the TyTN II and Touch Cruise are both rated at is barely faster than USB 1.1. It's USB 2.0 Hi Speed thats much faster.

May be.
But why there is no mention of USB 2.0 on kaiser specs?

I think the answer will come from cruise forum :-)

I think the answer will come from cruise forum :-)There's no need for the answer to come from the Cruise forum. It depends where you look on the HTC site. Here in the manual (warning 6 Mb pdf file) http://www.htc.com/support/pdf/htctytnII/Kaiser_HTC_English_Manual_web.pdf right at the end in the specs, USB 2.0 Full Speed is mentioned. Maybe HTC received complaints about it being on the website specs, who knows why they've removed it from there. As you can see from the link I provided earlier, it's not well known that there are different speeds offered by Full Speed USB 2.0 vs Hi Speed USB 2.0. Many people would just mistakenly assume mention of USB 2.0 Full Speed means 480 Mbs rather than the 12 Mbs max that it actually is. Although I knew the difference from way back (I used to work in IT), I must admit when I bought my TyTN II I fell for the not looking past the 'USB 2.0' spec.:o
