But, basically, as phones are turning more into computers… we’re tuning more into the devices that talk to phones.

Pardon my ignorance but ither than a complete suck up to Apple, where exactly does this article apply to a phone? This is “phonenews.com” is it not?

I believe that’s what the article says: “… the device still can use FireWire 400 via the FireWire 800 port”.

We haven’t gotten confirmation on if Apple will include the widget to convert the port or not. You can use a cable, but typically Apple has offered widgets in the past. Most notably, when iPod used FireWire, Apple included a mini-DV port adapter, so that PCs with FireWire could connect easily.

FW800 is completely backward compatible with FW400. You just need a different cable.
