I'm a little confused, does the new dock (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/StoreReentry.wo?productLearnMore=MB125G/A)offer "video out" on the Iphone?

The description states this...
when your iPod or iPhone is in the Dock and connected to a stereo or TV, the included Apple Remote lets you experience songs, slideshows, and more from across the room. Just choose a playlist, slideshow, or video, then sit back and enjoy. The Apple Remote offers play/pause, volume control, and forward/back buttons for easy control

But then it also says this...
Display photos or video on a TV or other video device using a Component AV Cable or Composite AV Cable if you have an iPod that plays video.
:confused:

Video-Out on iPhone -- Finally!

BOTH the dock and the devices themselves have 30 pin connectors that can utilize the A/V cable connectors. The iPhone dock also has a "line out", but I think its made less relevant by the A/V cable. The old universal dock also has S-Video out, but I'm imagining that that would be somewhat vestigial at this point.

I sure hope that this is the case. Someone please go out a purchase one & report back.
