Actually, if you think back to the differences between the original iPod and the Gen2, you will notice a big change...the gen1 had the ability to become a bootable drive via firewire, but when they switched to the original dock connector that ability disappeared, and there were similar bitches from a few vocal tech geeks about "taking away vital features", but the market overall embraced the iPod much quicker once they changed syncing to USB in the 3rd generation.
I know that as early adopters and we tend to react strongly to these things, but lets remember that new technology tends to evolve from generation 1 to 2, and level off around the 3rd or 4th gen.
