I kinda gathered this would be the case but looks like charging the iPhone with a firewire cable from the PC or a Wall Outlet Adapter works fine. It does NOT sync though. Looks like Apple made it USB 2.0 only.
This is good for me because I have a spare firewire cable and charger which normally sit and do nothing. I can keep my USB cable free for syncing and not buy another.
