Until your Apple device is outdated or thrown away and you're left with a pile of incompatible hardware, a fact which I find pretty distasteful (nothing enrages me more than people buying perfectly good stereos with adapters for hardware that will be obsolete in two years). Give me USB and miniplug any day over unnecessary proprietary connectors.
