Are there actually any differences between these two?

I just wondered if there was anything specific/subtle that I have to look out for.

I think the real reason for the difference is to avoid the Philips licensing charges on I2C bus. (also there is "TWI" (2 wire interface) which seems to be identical to I2C)

Sod, I was going to mention that .
