They should have gone with USB though.
I'm looking forward to the day wireless just works, but I'm not sure we're any where near close yet. I still have a problem with my WiFi dropping because next door is using theirs, and that's after I picked the least congested channel.
- ephelon 14y agoThe old dock connector, and the new "lightning" connector do a lot more that is supported by a USB connector. The dock can carry audio, video, act as a USB slave, and connect other slave devices. Arguably, Apple could have included both ports, but that increases cost and complexity and flies in the face of the Apple aesthetic.
