i plan on selling my mac 4gb ipod mini to a PC friend, will it work on the PC?

i have both type of connectors, the USB and FW ones, since he has no firewire, can i just give him the USB cable with dock connector for the mini?

does he need to reformat or do any prep when he gets the ipod? because its formaatted for mac? please help someone

Yes, it will work with a PC. And yes, he'll have to "reformat" it for the PC, but that's a very quick process and it won't even affect the music that's on the iPod.
