This adapter is really designed for cables, like those in cars. The unit is too long for the existing docks to be able to provide support to the back of a phone, and hence the entire load is going to go on that tiny length of Lightning ad

There are four different Lightning adapters on the store (OK, for pre-order). You think a few days will make a difference? You think they'll announce a dock next week with an "oops"? If they were doing a dock, it would be ready on day one.

That response reminds me of his response to the pushback to his Tweetbot review. In both cases, he links to the original as if it is innocuous and needs no explanation, when in fact it is incendiary.

Care to provide more backup for the use of "myth" than "none"? In a world where women own around 1% of the wealth and are minority presences in the C-Suite, it seems agenda-driven.

Google has been selling devices for years, not months. And, yes, I actually agree it's unfair to compare them with Apple -- but that's what the market will do, and the market doesn't care about fairness.
