It's been a while since I looked into iPods. Have the minis and photos always been USB 2.0 devices (cable included, firewire as an option with the purchase of a separate cable)? How unfortunate.

Awesome price cuts! US$150.00 cheaper for the top-of-the-line iPod Photo. Only a US$50.00 difference between the 1Gb Shuffle and the cheapest iPod Mini. And now only ONE monochrome iPod @ 20Gb.

Bought my 40G monochrome iPod last week. Just snuck in under the wire. The price included a dock as well as both firewire and USB cables. So while the prices have come down, I see that Apple has reduced some of what comes in the box and made them into accessories across the board.
If I had waited a week (or perhaps as much as three or four with shipping), for an extra $45, I could have had a 60GB colour screen. But throw in the dock and firewire cable, and the difference is actually $125...
