animalcracker's Full Review: Apple iPod mini 1st Generation Silver (4 GB) MP3 P...
Admittedly, im venting here. I purchased this gadget for a loved one and had hoped to load some meaningful songs before I gave it as a Christmas gift. My laptop has USB 1.0 and a 4-pin firewire port. Neither of which is directly compatible with the mini. Sooo, after hunting around i've discovered that the only options are:

PCMCIA card w/ USB2.0 or 6pin firewire - $50
adapter/cable from apple - ~$40
or I could go on EBay and get a $1 adapter $5 shipping.

Since its 2 days before xmas, can't order online so I guess i'll have to bend over and spend an extra $50.

For a gadget so expensive, they should have considered supporting computers that are 2 or more years old.
