The one strange thing,...on the iPod photo,..it now comes with the USB2

Hmmm,...a loss for the Mac people? Or am I missing something? :o)



So does this mean usb2 will run full speed on macosx? Or do iPods now run
slower on macs then pcs, unless you pay extra for a firewire cable?

Not if you don't have USB2 in the first place on your ageing G3 or G4 machine. You'll NEED to get a firewire cable.


At least you can now view photos from your camera on the ipod photo without connecting it to the computer. That feature should have been there from the
start.

No. As I read it, that's a forthcoming gadget from Apple which we'll see sometime in March, and will work with all iPod Photos. It's not a necessarily a feature of the new ones.
