is apple stooping to the lows of Nokia by charging us excessive prices for something that used to come in the box?

that said, i have had an idea, is there anything stopping us from using the remote that comes with an ipod universal dock with a new macbook (or any other mac)? as apple charges (AU)$69 for the remote if you want it to come with your macbook and $79 for a universal dock with remote, seems to me like for only an extra $10 you can get a dock as well

thoughts?

I really don't think Apple is ripping us off. They were simply tired of including something extra that nobody ever used. Me personally, I used it. But if you troll around the Internet you will find that the masses don't even know where their remote is or say that their dog chewed it up.

But you are right, the Universal Remote is just that, Universal and will work with a dock or computer.
