I notice that the system requirements for the new iPod shuffle includes a USB 2.0 port.

I thought USB2.0 and USB 1 were compatible?

Can someone confirm whether or not the new iPod suffle works with USB 1 ports or not?

Thanks.

Since they haven't shipped I'm sure no one can say for sure BUT, it says the same for the nano and it was the same for the old shuffle. I have a nano and bought an older shuffle for a friend and we both use USB 1 without problems. A bit slower but it transfered songs just fine.

Also, here's a link to another thread that says USB 1 works fine on the regular iPods as well.

That's what I expect to happen. Just was unsure of the wording on their site.

Cheers.
