Nothing would make me happier to rid my electronics of that horrible propietary connector. The only reason i have an iPod is because my car has a connector for one, and it came with it for free, and i got the iPod for free and i dont want to burn CDs. To be honest i think the device is worthless. I Despise the fact that i cant use UMS to throw an mp3 on my car stereo, but i put up with it because the head unit is a nice UI with great audio quality, and i can use floola to bypass having to ever use iTunes.
Apple have made themself a nice little monopoly with that thing, and there are far better connectors. USB, USB mini, hell you can even use wireless with a2dp with most phones for audio, but not when it comes to apple stuff.
My digital camera, phone, calculator, portable hard drive, even playstation controller all use USB mini, the only thing i have an ipod connector for is an ipod. if i leave that one cable behind i cant connect it, but i always have a usb mini lying around because they are so much more useful.
