Also has firewire target-disk mode

Which means it can just act like a normal firewire hard drive and that will allow you to play tunes from it without copying them to your Mac. Also, there are synching preferences and you can turn off auto-synching.

IMHO the iPod is way cool and I imagine the name indicates that we will see more uses for the iPod in the future that aren't necessarily music related. Could the firewire port be used for adding features and capabilities via add-on modules?

Yep, that's right. The iPod's firmware is upgradable, or replacable or whatever. Also, I suspect that MacOS won't be the only os that's got drivers to handle the iPod. It's a firewire harddrive, how hard can it be. And when some 14 years old linux geek starts playing around with the firmware, well... I guess we'll be seeing a gameboy emulator for the iPod soon. :-)
