firepod vs fp-10 any difference?

[KLINKDETROIT]

I am confused as to why Presonus changed the name or unit? Is there any difference besides the name?

From what I have read this was just a marketing move to rename the products. They lowered the price on existing "Firepod" branded units to $399 to clear them out and introduced the FP-10's back at the normal $499 price.

I heard Line 6 was unhappy with their choice of name.

An ebayer just replied to me saying that the fp10 has better firewire ports and the a/d convertors are better?

All technical parts and specifications in the FP10 are the same as the FirePod including, microphone preamplifier design, firewire chipset, PC and Mac multi-channel drivers, power supply, connectors, potentiometers, etc.

They changed the name to avoid legal trouble with another company.

The Firepod and FP10 are pretty much the same unit. They might have updated a few things in the FP10, but all in all it's the same thing
