Sorry, gonna nitpick again. The dock connector debuted in late April 2003, so really it has only been around for just over 5 1/2 years, not 7. ;-) Thanks for the credit.

There's one for the flat panel iMac, one for the ibook, one for the powerbook, one for the new macbook... it is pretty infuriating. Just pick a small connector and quit updating it every freakin year. Oh, and bring back firewire! I just wish apple would pick a freaking standard for monitor output jacks.

If anything, there will be a slew of dongles available. Apple wouldn't make a move like this without preparing first. I doubt it Allen. If anything, there will be a slew of dongles available.
