PRETTY BIG CON HERE:

They are charging $29 for an adapter. TWENTY-NINE ****ING DOLLARS

Also, not guaranteed to work with older dock speakers. I mean. What?

Of course they are. It's their way.

People keep asking why Apple didn’t opt for the micro-USB connector. The answer is simple: that connector isn’t smart enough. It has only 5 pins: +5V, Ground, 2 digital data pins, and a sense pin, so most of the dock connector functions wouldn’t work – only charging and syncing would.

I don't give a shit and I'll pre-order my iPhone 5 today. I like the iPhone for alot of reasons but jailbreak/free apps is the biggest reason to me.

Well, I am finally entering the smart phone world. I ordered 4x iPhone4 for a dollar each and got them to waive the activation fees. yeah..2 generations behind. I simply do not care.

If you like that, why not Android?

There is FAR more development out there for Android.

Do they have a jailbreak to allow getting paid apps free? For testing purposes of course. o:-)

We call it ROOTING not jailbreaking.. since Androids don't start out in "jail" like iPhones do. :D And Android has a far higher percentage of free apps to begin with.

I was going to say. I have dozens of free apps on my Androids, including the 1 that isn't rooted (it's my work phone).

You don't even have to root the phone to get free paid apps. Just download the apk file online and install it.

The iPhone 5 is only USB 2.0, so technically, it's correct. Whether they should have gone with 3.0 is a different story...

Well not really. He is talking about the usb spec not being able to handle certain amperages or not having enough pins. Neither of which really would be dependent on actually utilizing USB 3.0 just utilizing the connection form factor and the charging spec.
