Comp Geeks has all sorts of generic-brand iPod cables for cheap: http://www.geeks.com/products.asp?ca...PodAccessories Those retractable ones look cool.

I don't have any numbers right here, but I recall that Firewire is 400Mb/s stream, and USB2 is 480 Mb/s burst, giving Firewire the edge for file transferring. I also recall that ev…

Mistake or not, you CANNOT buy a firewire power adapter in the german & dutch applestore anymore!

I don't get it. I run the installation, and after it asks me where I want to install the update (the HDD), it tells me the two updates are "disabled" and that's that. I've removed…

I'm wondering when we'll see a new version of the standard iPod. I'm hoping that it'll be soon; I'm in the market, as it were, and I'd like to buy an old one from the red tag sect…

I think we already have the new version of the standard iPod: My guess is that Apple is phasing out the older iPods and is just going to replace them with the Photo models. Mayb…

the ipod photo is the new ipod, that is why it is priced at $350 for 10gb more storage. you get a color screen and 50% more storage space for only $50 more. the 30gb ipod phote i…

Does this mean that I'll be seeing the old iPods in the red tag section?

I think they'll keep the monochrome 20gig models around just as a space filler for a while, but the Photo's are definitely taking over. I think they'll be more likely to fully pha…

I am gonna pick up a 30gb photo for the car and school and an 512mb ipod shuffle for more portability. I would hate to ruin a $350 ipod photo.

^ Why not get an old 40GB photo from the Sale section w/ the AV cable & dock for cheap? WAY better deal than the new 30GB.

^ That's insanely dumb. The size is so negligent when you get that large...sure, a mini or shuffle, you'd notice a difference, but on an iPod that large you wouldn't have time to…

Just saw the sale 40gb, what a great deal! comes with the case and the dock.......

The color screen will likely become standard on the plain-old iPods. Maybe apple finally got a deal on color displays? The mini if for those who need capacity, but small. The shu…

The iPod Photo is a crappy product. They really screwed up by discontinuing the 40GB iPod.
