[QUOTE="technologist, post: 147807, member: 4134"] More importantly, many older Macs have FireWire but not USB2. So Apple is, effectively, forcing those users to transfer songs at USB1.1 speeds...about 35 times slower. (Same applies to the iPod Shuffle, for that matter.) Even for those of us with USB2 Macs, FireWire is almost always faster in the real world, even for the little things. The only thing USB2 has going for it is a lower cost to implement. [/QUOTE]
