About LinkBacksI'm planning to get a Nano, but I'm concerned whether I can use it with my iBook G3-800. What else can I do to the iBook apart from upgrading the OS from Jaguar to Tiger? Is it possible to sync the Nano to the iBook using the latter's slower USB 1.1 port?

Re: Using a Nano with a G3 iBook If iTunes 7.0.1 runs on your G3 then the nano should work. USB is USB but 1.1 is slower than 2.0

Re: Using a Nano with a G3 iBook I agree with tweek. I helped a colleague sync music from a G3 iBook to a Nano and syncing was **painfully** slow (with real emphasis on PAINFUL). The slowness was due to the USB 1.1 interface of the G3

Re: Using a Nano with a G3 iBook How long did the syncing actually take? Would it be worth the hassle?

Re: Using a Nano with a G3 iBook If I remember it right, the 2 GB Nano took more than one hour to fill up.
