Personally, I don’t fill up the whole entire hd full of movies on one go. I prefer to load only what I need … but I suppose heavy video users would use it more as a library … filling and disposing of GB’s of video at a time. I guess I’m used to my u10 where I could only have a gig worth of video at a time. I should have been thinking more about when I had my ipod filled with my mp3 collection (I’ve since just been scaling down using the shuffle and u10 for only partial playlists).

I think I remember hearing that future ipods would be losing the firewire and going USB … but I’ve also heard that ipods would have bluetooth, but perhaps that is for wireless headphones and not so much transfer of music …

To address your comment about the need for wireless, I agree with you, but you have to recognize why they don’t have the wireless interface. If you ask me, it’s because the majority of people buying this device are going to be uploading movies and music in gigabytes and gigabytes. One of the things that was instantly amazing about the ipod was how fast it could update after you encoded a dozen or so CD’s (thank you Firewire). It would be excruciating to do this wirelessly, even at 802.11g data rates.

To those few of us (at least for now) developing and loading FL content on these at about 100k each, yeah it would be nice to have bluetooth. But even if it’s super cheap to do so, I doubt they will untill it addresses a specific functionality need for the device. So much for convenience.

have you found any way to save data like the u10?
