TweakTown reports Gigabyte announced the first Mini-ITX motherboard with USB 3.0 support. On the picture below the upcoming Mini-ITX H55 motherboard is compared to the X58A-UD7. Pricing and availability is unknown.

The motherboard is based on Intel's H55 Express chipset. Blog author Tim mentioned that it comes loaded with many audio and video features that are unprecedented in motherboards of this size and we would tend to agree with that statement. He reckons that "dynamite does come in a small package!" What's interesting is that we saw on a Chinese blog that the board will also come with USB 3.0 ports, which makes it the first Mini-ITX board to come with the new SuperSpeed connectivity.
