I think it's more the case that the 6700 really can't go much faster then usb1.2 speeds.

Let's review.

802.11b max speed, 5.5mbps (each way)
6700 802.11b max speed, about 3mbps

USB 1.2 max speed 12mbps
6700 USB1.2 max speed... uh, about 3mbps

So sure, they coulda put usb2.0 in, but then people would *really* complain about the speeds.

It's weird tho, my good old $60 zen nano can cook along at 4-5MB/sec (40-50mbps) with USB2.0.

So I think it's got some serious bottlenecks elsewhere in the I/O subsystem.
