any mediaphile will probably tell you that ad2p is inferior to a wired connection anyways.

yes, the connector is indeed a masterstroke. even more so that it seems to cost nothing to get a license to use it as long as they dont try so on a rival product to the ipod.

also, we humans seem more adept at putting plug a into socket b, then do the mental gymnastics that it takes to pair up two devices over bluetooth. just watch the number of threads here on the forum where people get the pin for the bluetooth pairing mixed up with the pin to lock the tablet and so on.
