Do 2g Nano's still take 50% longer to sync via USB 2.0 than 1g models? Every review I have read seems to indicate this, but with the latest firmware (1.3), I was hoping that Apple would have fixed this.

My 2G syncs as quick as any other iPod I have owned.

HUH? I haven't heard anything about that. I got my wife one of the first BLACK 2G Nanos (I ordered on the afternoon it came out) and it has always been at least as quick as my 4G 60GB iPod. Can you post where these reviews you're talking about are? I don't have an original Nano to compare with-maybe they were a lot speedier than the hard drive-based iPods...

Apple Computer iPod nano (Second-Generation) 2/4/8GB | iLounge iPod Accessory Reviews
The only real component-related step down we noticed in was in transfer speeds. Apple last year shifted iPods entirely to the highly common, PC-friendly USB 2.0 standard for data transfers, and the original iPod nano was pretty fast at transferring music, photos, and other data from computer to flash memory. In a direct comparison between current and past 4GB iPod nanos, however, we discovered that the new nano transfers at around one-half the speed of its predecessor: it took 4 minutes and 35 seconds for the old nano to transfer a 2.58GB file - incidentally, a full DVD image of Windows Vista - while the new one took 9 minutes and 15 seconds for the same file. Average users can expect that nano music library refreshes will take longer than before - not much of a problem if you fill your nano once and use it for a while, but a possible inconvenience if you repeatedly deplete and then re-fill the nano all the time.

Elektrix, thanks for the link. That's weird, but they have apparently done a good job of comparing. The 1G Nano must blow my 60G 4g iPod away in transfer speeds, though, because my wife's 2G Nano, as I said, seems to transfer about as fast as mine. One thing not clear is what method they used to transfer the data-whether it was through Finder in Disk Mode or some other technique. That could have a lot to do with the Disk Mode implementation and not much to do with the music management features and speed.
