Just reporting that I have received mine, and it works fine. While the price is ridiculously steep, afaik, it's the only option out there right now, and having two cars with Ipod integration that would not charge my iPhone was unacceptable.
To extend this conversation a little bit further; while I understand that Apple notified accessory makers of this change in design a long time ago, I think that Apple did a lousy job of handling what is, imo, a major design change. They did virtually nothing to notify consumers, and, frankly, even more unbelievably, they didn't manufacture an adapter like this themselves. Millions of people have all sorts of chargers and docks (many of them integrated into devices that won't work with this adapter) and Apple decided to render all of them useless with their newest devices in one fell swoop, with no significant warning, and without providing a solution. I own 4 iPods and an iPhone (all still in use, two of which will only charge via Firewire) but Apple gets a big thumbs down for this one.
