[Ti] Re: definitely OT: iPod nano

[Matt Gregory]

It's been a while since I looked at the USB vs. Firewire tests, but if I 
remember correctly Firewire wouldn't really be all that much faster for 
filling a 2 or 4GB Nano. It seems like it was around 8-10GB where the 
Firewire really started being noticeably faster than USB. Assuming this is 
true I would think this may have been part of the decision to leave it out. 
Perhaps the cost outweighed the benefit. And don't forget that the for it 
circuitry takes up some room and real estate is probably at a premium in 
there. So I guess I was in a way disappointed that there is no Firewire 
support with the Nano, but I got over it quickly. Now, if it ever goes away 
in the Real McCoy iPod that'll be a different story.
