Hi
I am looking to buy an iPOD 40GB, for use with my DELL Windows XP machine (which has no firewire, just USB)
I have a nubver of questions:
1) I have read that the iPOD can be charged via USB but only via 'high power' ports and only via OS/X operating systems I dont know if DELL has high power ports (or if that is a Mac term), but I know I dont have OS/X ! Does this mean I can only charge my iPOD via the AC adapter, and not simpley via the USB cable?
2) How does the docking station work? Does it provide for both the USB and AC adaptor connections? If yes, then I 'can' charge it while docked - correct?
3) Does the iPod DOCK accessory (value = $49CDN) come included for free with the 40GB unit? The Apple web site implies it does - re comparison betwenn 20GB and 40GB models.
