What no longer works with FireWire on the later iPods is syncing to a computer. If you have a brick and a cable that ends in a dock connector, you should be good to go. Make sure the brick is rated up to 240v AC as I noted months ago in above post, but I'm pretty sure all the Apple ones always were, and in that case you'll only need the plug adapter for western Europe.
