Well, as always it'll be up to uniformed consumers who wins the USB/Firewire battle. Sony/Apple have a headstart and I hope they win as I invested in a G4 specifically for the Firewire.

I fear however that wintel computer manufacturers will opt for USB2 over firewire. Consumers will look at the alternatives (installing a firewire card). And USB2 will become ubiquitous, camera makers will start making USB2 cameras. We've seen similar senarios all too often.
