What is the difference between a powered switch and a powered hub?

As for BT and Firewire, there are very few firewire devices out  
there. My 3G iPod is on firewire, and I used to have a firewire HD  
case, but it crapped out.  The keyboard is BT, but Logitech does not  
make a BT Trackman.

6-8 USB devices is not uncommon, and most people seems to simply do a  
USB shuffle (OK, I want to scan, so let's uplug the printer and  
plugin the scanner.  Hooking up the iPod?  OK, we don't need the card  
reader... &c)
