Wait a minute. I have a 3G iPod and I bought the USB2/FW combo cable from apple because I wanted to see if I could use the iPod's HD at work (PC). This cable allows USB2 transf…

Are the docks still Firewire?

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.
