Anyone knows of a Firewire solution (such as a CF adapter) for Pocket PC?
If such peripheral existed, one could connect his PPC to an iPod to use up to 30GB of storage…

Indeed, you could, but I'm not aware of anything so far.

Couple points on this note: I don't think CF has enough bandwidth to usefully support Firewire -- you'd get somewhere between 10Mbps and 50Mbps, if my perception is correct. Instead, get a USB CF host adapter (or use a Pocket PC that has built-in USB), and get the USB iPod cable (I have one, and it makes the iPod look like a standard Mass Storage Device). Bingo! Instant 30GB. ;)

You can get a CF that has a usb on it? I could really really use on of those!
