    I believe you have to connect through your dock. If it a USB 1 or 2 is of little consequence unless you are interested in high speed transfer, as 1 and 2 are backward compatible.

    USB 1 is deathly slow if you're planning on transferring a loads of tunes to the ipod.

    Nope there is no dock with the mini.

    You dont need anything really, the USB cable is included so just install itunes and the iPod drivers and away you go :)

    are you sure the usb cable is included? becuase i bought a ipod about 8 months ago and it was a firewire cable that came with it, the usb one was extra :mad:

    Yeah, the older ones didnt ship with a USB cable, the mini and the 4th Gen ones do.
