A. Yes, it will.

Q. How long does the copying process take?
A. About 20 minutes per 400 songs.

Q. Does the music/videos lose any quality?

I noticed a majority of my music is in AAC format so the names are all incorrect. Is there a way to convert the AAC to MP3 to get the correct music file names?

I just tested it with my old ipod nano, it seems to work fine. My friends nano redesign also works fine with it. So far it looks like everyone with a itouch of iphone will have to get their precious music on the ps3 some other way...
