    Apple idiots really had to change to power port?

    Not selling enough accessories?

    Thanks for nothing.

    Docking station, cars, etc, all those that jumped on the bandwagon got ****ed. Simple as that.

    The vast majority will get the adapter because they are not going to buy a new car...

    So they won't be able to take advantage of the new "functionality" (whatever it is).

    The 430 with the built in iPhone? ****ed.

    The new fancy stereo music docking station? ****ed.

    I for one believe this change will cause many NOT to upgrade.

    Apple and 1,000 of other companies will sale an attachment for a couple of bucks. But my guess is that Apple will include one with every phone sold

    Won't work in my BMW and two other docking stations I have where the phone "slides in".

    They'll think of something. I am all about change when it comes to consumer electronics. If it saves space and adds more capabilities why not. The pin unit apple has used has been around for a lonnnnggg damn time its time for an update. I don't own an I product and see the need for the change

    This iteration is more about size, i.e. it's a bigger screen but thinner case.

    Apple fans don't like change, case in point is the noise about the connector re-design. :D

    Until I see an official press release from Apple, I'm not believing anything.

    I just want the iPh5 to come out quick so I can get rid of my beat up 4 (quirky & glitchy & a PIA). Apple Store said $200 to get another 4 & since I only paid $50 for the one I have, it doesn't make sense not to wait

    I'd bet money there will be an adapter.

    I doubt this.

    It's too much of a physical issue if it's a docking port.

    Even with an adaptor it wouldn't fit flush.

    I looked at this with my Denon iPod dock I have on my home theater system.

    I think I'll have to just leave my old 80gb iPod connected with no new iPhone ability.
