Dock supplied with Firewire Cable?

I spoke to my local Apple Store and they are not 100% sure if buying a dock for the 3rd Gen iPod means it comes with a firewire cable.

I want a second one setup for my PC, the one I got with the 30Gb model is going to be a permanent input to my hi-Fi.

Has anyone purchased a dock, does it come with a cable or do I have to buy the cable as an extra?

I tried to get a new cable at my Apple store (Connecticut) yesterday, they said they hadn't been released yet. Sheesh.

Does it definitely come with a cable? In discussions before we came to the conclusion that the docks don't come with a cable.

Finally got round to buying a 2nd dock (for my Car kit project).

The dock DOES not come with a cable.

Also buy from the Apple on-line store and not the Apple Store on the street, reason? you'll save money and time!

Dock
On-line price AU$75
Applestore (broadway, Sydney) AU$99

Cable
On-Line price AU$35
Applestore AU$44

I ordered it on the weekend and got it today (tuesday). Plus the guy on the phone at the Applestore was a bit rude!

umm why do you emphasize the DOES? you should emphasize the NOT, unless you're trying to be misleading....
