-You can now provide up to 1.2 AMP to the 4 USB ports enabling you to connect more power hungry USB devices without needing an external USB hub. (This feature requires a 2Amp micro USB Power Supply)

Nice. In my experience, using a good power supply for the pi (instead of cheap ones selling for 5 bucks on ebay) is mandatory also in the current revision, and solves a lot of problems with video and USB devices (for example, cellular modems).

The Apple iPad charger works wonders.




The Pi Shop sell a high power adapter http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adaptor-Supply-Charger-Tablet-iPhone... with full 2A and dual USB ports.


The Samsung chargers as well, LG chargers unfortunately just only give 0.8A
