There's nothing wrong with lightning, but they seriously need to get a move on with allowing companies to use it.
So little devices available right now.

So much wrong in one place...
Problems in this sentence:
1) Every iOS device in the marketplace didn't just suddenly convert to a lightening adapter
2) You assume that no manufacturer has ever heard of JIT manufacturing.
3) You assume every manufacturer that makes everything is in every market. This may encourage them to go into a new foreign market where the lightening connector doesn't exist (as a possible solution to the problem).
4) You assume that companies that manufacture don't have strategies to deal with this.
The fact is, if this is a problem, it can cause interesting solutions, or what we in the tech community call INNOVATION. And for the record, a manufacturing company that doesn't expect things like this, deserves to die off. It's a BAD THING to not have a strategy to deal with change, and be a tech company.
It was GREAT news for me and for several developers I know. Faster data speeds means more data in real time, and less waiting for transfers. I (and the developers I know) are willing to pay a price for better. I think MANY people are.
Let me correct this for you
"pay Apple to be able to keep on using your stuff because technology has moved on and you now have more data moving through a MUCH faster cable/connector"
So they should pay for you to get more/better/faster? How entitled are you?

Thunderbolt has been a disaster in terms of adoption. And what has come out, has been pretty poor and expensive.
Lightning seems to be going down the same road. None to poor. And no wonder, if even charging becomes such an issue!
Gods forbid anyone tries to tangle with case specific pin assignments for data, and D-A converters and the like being required to convert this data outside the Apple device.
It's even worse than FireWire !! At least hardware in the device took care of that
Really enjoying my simple/reversible connector - so far
The lightning adaptor wasn't one of Apples greatest moments and you didn't have to be a medium to realise that pointless adaptor that offered no extra features than the old one would be an unmitigated disaster.
Lets hope post-Jobs Apple tone it down next year. Get the old innovation bones working again and stop the rot in 2013. The competition is increasing. 2013 won't tolerate the cock ups like 2012 did.
We shall see ....

Read the rules, again, Knight. You quote them often enough. Every statement here is opinion, by definition. What, you can read my mind to know that's not what I meant??!@!
And of course, you never admit to your ****ing wrongdoing. Why do you even come here just to rip on people in a questionable way??
I don't, you made a statement of fact :
The product is useful. It might not be what you need, but to people who want an integrated solution with no disconnectable parts, it is rather useful.
The product's usefulness is not a "matter of fact", that is simply your opinion. I'm not riping on you in a questionnable way, I'm asking you to refrain stating your opinion as a fact, since I for one do not share it.
I have to ask, why do you feel the need to rip on anything and everything not branded Apple I might ask ? If you don't like it, don't come here and state facts that are simply your opinion disguised as such. If you're going to state facts, stick to actual factual information.
I FIGURED IT OUT!! That dude in China was chatting on here with you. Took twice, but he finally escaped. Lucky bastard.
Quite. Or even USB three - it's no thicker.
Lightning has been the most cynical Apple move I can remember.
