Informative. Thanks.

: Seems like Apple's doing the thinking for you again.

Oh good, like Ze Frank, they're "Thinking, so I don't have to."

I think I nailed their reason for not implementing a "USB Target Disk Mode", though.

: I think with enough complaints, they'll put FW400 (or maybe even 800 since
: it's smaller) back into the MB. Like the original MBP and FW800.

I doubt it... This seems like one of those Apple decisions that doesn't go away. And I'm stricken with the sense that regardless of its superiority to USB 2, Apple is now giving up on its baby FireWire. I expect in the next few years we will be largely forced to forget what FireWire was all about. Of course, whether or not they can ditch FireWire in their Pro lines will depend very much on what ports Camcorder manufacturers actually include on their hardware. Most include USB 2 as an option now, though the resultant video quality is generally lower.
