That doesn't sound right at all. I would like to know how they came up with the transfer rate so I could try to replicate the test.

I just did a little test of my own using an iPod mini 1G. Over firewire I transferred 139MB worth of songs. I timed it from start to finish at 17 seconds. That would be a transfer …

Hmm also, the page says Quote: Apple includes Sennheiser earbuds that can be worn with or without padding. Is it true that the included earbuds are by Sennhe…

I wouldn't be suprised. They are pretty good quality. Also, on my iBook, I borrowed my friend's firewire cable to compare firewire transfers vs. USB 2.0 transfers with a 2G mini, …

I remember reading something at Barefeats which mentioned that USB 2.0 sucks for Mac's when the same device is used on a PC. On the other hand Firewire was way faster for the Mac …

USB 2 and my 6GB mini get me about 8mb/s transfer speeds on my G4. I will test firewire speeds out when I can, but they are always better than USB speeds for me with my external H…

Okay, call me crazy, stupid, redneck or whatever but I swear FedEx is saying my Mini is coming from Shangai CN, is that China? What's the deal, I'm not to big with FedEx in the f…

Most Apple products are made in China.

Okay... I've decided to go hog wild and get a Vaja leather case. For a variety of reasons it seems to be the case that will best serve my various needs. The question is what color …

I'd say go with either the flat black one, or the last one that's black and gray.
