Syncing Question

[trappedshadow87]

Hey everybody, I've got a bit of a dilemma here and I don't know what I should do. Speed is a big thing for me when getting my stuff onto my iPod. Right now I have a 3G 20 Gig and the transfer speeds are great because of firewire. However, my battery isn't going to last terribly long on my 3G, so I'm thinking about updating. My question is do the 4G colors still sync through Firewire or is it done by USB 2? I have an older eMac, so I'm stuck with USB 1, and that's not fun to transfer 9 gigs of music and pictures over. Would a nano be a good option in this case? As long as I have most of my music on me, I can deal with leaving some of it at home. The syncing thing is a pretty big deal for me as I'm very impatient. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

You can use firewire to transfer your music and pictures to an iPod photo, on an iPod nano you can only use usb 2
