Response to: taking advantage of all those gigabytes
Unfortunately, as I understand it, USB data transfer requires a host (computer), where FireWire does not. So for instance you could (technically, if Apple let you) transfer data between iPods via FireWire, but not via USB. Considering that most digital still cameras use USB, I wouldn't count on this happening. Too bad, because if I could use an iPod like a Digital Wallet, I'd already have one, rather than still be waiting for one to hit my price/performance sweet spot. :-(

  Apple (or someone else) could make a card reader though. There are some products that copy photos from a flash card to a hard drive, but they're expensive and very big.
