ehh. flame me all you want, "the mini" rocks

The mini is too small for my hands. I have to bend my thumb past 90 degrees to use the wheel. The regular size ipod is much more comfortable in my hand.

why limit the question to minis?

 

[Nebor]

Take it from me, size does matter.

I have a 3g iPOD I just use the firewire since it came with it and all my computers have firewire.

 

[Ikonomi]

I don't have an iPod, but if I did, I would use Firewire.

 

[Gurck]

Use firewire, duh. It's the only advantage the iClod has over other players, might as well milk it.

Firewire - faster + charging all in one

USB2.0 charges the ipod mini, and as for it being faster, that's only on paper. i used firewire for my regular ipod and usb for the mini and there is absolutely no noticeable difference between the two.

Alright, that's what I thought. The reason for my original question is, I used to use Firewire till today and I found out USB 2.0 is faster when I tried it today. I guess I'll keep using USB 2.0.

For the mini, the bottleneck is the hard drive speed. Both USB 2 and Firewire are faster than the hard drive. However, with fast chipsets and fast desktop hard drives, Firewire is faster than USB 2.0.

When the mini goes to 6 GB, I'm "upgrading" from my 15 GB 3G iPod.
