Griffin’s Dock to FireWire 400

We, as Mac users, may be questioning Apple's decision to only include a USB 2.0 cable with all currently shipping iPods, but if you think about it for a moment it only makes sense. Most iPods are sold to PC users
(those poor souls) and they are all but left out of the FireWire fun. The best they can do is USB 2.0, so why shouldn't Apple save a few bucks and only ship one cable with the iPod?

And why shouldn't you save a few bucks and buy your FireWire cable from someone other than Apple? That's right, the one company that is happy with Apple's decision is Griffin Technology
since they just announced their latest product the
Dock to FireWire 400. It is 48 inches long and costs $17.95 (undercutting Apple), and you can place your preorders now.
