I should recieve my ADS Pyro today or tomorrow and I will perform an informal test of the firewire cardreader vs. the usb camera connection on my G1. I will post the results.

Please do, as a firewire reader is something I'm thinking about at the moment. It just takes too long downloading a 1 Gig Microdrive via USB... (I'm not the patient kind :))
