mini USB speed

[dscott23]

Hi all. Just got my Touch through Bell Canada a few days ago, and so far it's great. One minor gripe I have is the slow USB 1.1 speed through the miniUSB port. I'm using Softick's Card Export to avoid having to fiddle with the microSD card cover, but transfers take forever if I'm loading on a lot of mp3's.

I've noticed specs on the Touch Dual and Cruiser list the USB as 2.0. Is there any way to upgrade the usb drivers in the original Touch? Or is it a hardware limitation?

I'm plugging it into a Linux (Debian) system if that makes any difference. Thanks.

I believe the Touch and Mogul are USB 2.0

Are file transfers known to take longer when using Card Export as opposed to an actual card reader? Plugging the card into a reader gives normal transfer times, that's why I assumed the USB port on the Touch was to blame.

I am not sure. I know that it's faster doing it through my card reader on my laptop as well.

After checking the transfer speed again, it does appear to be faster than USB 1.1, just not full 2.0 speeds. Looks like a limitation of the Card Export software itself.
