I'm 99% sure that this is how the whole FireWire <-> iPod thing went:
First and Second Generation (Scroll wheel/Touch wheel): No dock connector, cable was FireWire to FireWire. Third Generation: Dock connector introduced, cable was dock connector to FireWire OR dock connector to USB. Files could be transferred and the unit could be charged either way. Fourth Generation (and Photo/Color): Dock connector to FireWire no longer included, but still works. USB as main charging and file transfer. Fifth Generation (Video): Dock connector to FireWire no longer can transfer files. It can only charge the device. USB is the only method of syncing via iTunes or anything. Sixth Generation (Classic): Same as above, charging over FireWire is still supported. Now, as far as iPod nano and all, no generations of the iPod nano have supported data over FireWire, however all support charging over FireWire. The data over FireWire was present in the iPod mini, however.
