iPod iPod 5G Firewire??

[notsam]

Can I use the firewire cord for a 3rd gen iPod on a 5th gen? USB 2.0 can't be the ONLY way to transfer data, can it?

there's no physical firewire chip in the 5G.
it will not work.

They took out firewire to make the iPod thinner.

Firewire can only be used to charge.
You can use USB 1.1

You can use USB 1.0

Probably not...more likely USB 1.1.

Apple contacted us last year and informed us that many people had been having connection problems through USB 1.1, so they want everybody to know that only USB 2.0 is guaranteed to work with an iPod.

Talk about covering your backs.

well, good, why cater to apple computers customers? It makes sense, why would anyone who hasn't purchased a mac in a year or more want a new ipod?
