Dear Markus,
Apple extinguishes FireWire
By ITWeb, 13 December 2005
Apple is about to drop FireWire, the connectivity standard it created and for so long fostered, from the Mac line-up.
Apple is about to drop FireWire ? the connectivity standard it created and for so long fostered ? from the Mac line-up. That's what Apple notebook-orientated Web site O'Grady's PowerPage suggests, without citing specific sources.
Apple has already dropped FireWire from the latest iPods, so it's clearly shifting its allegiance to USB 2.0, which, while technologically inferior to FireWire, is fast enough for almost all PC-peripheral connections, says The Register.
According to O'Grady, the upcoming Intel-based iBooks will lack FireWire and x86 PowerBooks will have a single FireWire 800 port for digital video enthusiasts and professionals to make use of, but 1394, as it's also known, will continue in non-PC applications.
Much regards,
Malek
