michael.b Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Oh yeah... Who else is excited to see what can come of this? I know I am. Just a little laugh to all those people who said a wireless dock for an iPod was completely out of the question... well, here we are. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semifamous Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Wireless firewire... Wait a minute... That doesn't really work. That sounds like cableless cable or something. It doesn't work. Oxy moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fit4130Rider Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I like the new name "Firewireless" personally. It fits it and is humorous. Also, it would be awesome to have webcams spread around the house used as survailence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted May 14, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 14, 2004 One of the cool advantages of FireWire was charging my iPod from my PC, won't be able to do that with FireWireless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oik Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 One of the cool advantages of FireWire was charging my iPod from my PC, won't be able to do that with FireWireless... actually, i think it's a better idea, because at least with my 2g ipod, to charge it without a computer, you had to unplug the firewire cable from the back of the computer, which was a pain in the arse. now you could leave the dock plugged into the wall, and then your computer would just sync wirelessly. now when you want to charge the ipod, your computer doesn't need to be on.

Bling3k12 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 now when you want to charge the ipod, your computer doesn't need to be on. It never had to before. Even though the computer is off, if you plug the iPod into the FireWire port it will still charge as the motherboard is still grabbing power, at least it did this on my iBook.

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted May 15, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 15, 2004 One of the cool advantages of FireWire was charging my iPod from my PC, won't be able to do that with FireWireless... Or you could leave the iPod in a charging station near the door so you can grab it and go. All we need is wireless power now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shodan Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 It never had to before. Even though the computer is off, if you plug the iPod into the FireWire port it will still charge as the motherboard is still grabbing power, at least it did this on my iBook. Did it? If i live my iPod on the dock, connected to the iMac while it's turned off, it will drain out all the iPod battery, even it's full charged. Seems to be an iMac problem so, not an iPod one. Odd... :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MipScript Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 :woot: sounds cool to me if it has same speeds of 400mbps then it will be well worth it for using with my iPod or External HD, I wonder if they would make some sort of in built adapter for WiFire (I like that name :p) in iBooks and Powerbooks and then u buy separate adapters which you plug into your devices? (I think that would be the best way to-do it since I don't wanna be buying some wireless iPod after ive got this one or buying Wireless External Hard Drives after getting a 320GB Lacie you get what I mean.) sounds cool anyway! I'm all for wireless (Y) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
