I'm waiting for the same thing.  I bought a USB CDR for the Mac from Que,
and had to return it because it only worked at the slowest speed.  When I
queried the sales rep at MacWorld, he said the FireWire is a much better
product.
The throughput better, and the USB standard is apparently interpreted quite

differently by different vendors.  His advice to me was hold out a couple
months
and get Firewire.
Of course DVD writers are coming up soon, too, so whatever you get
will be outmoded quickly.
