Analog is dead. I was reading a white paper on "Analog Twilight" on Extron's website a few months ago. VGA will become no longer a standard and will soon not be included on any products. Blu-Ray players are all ready forbid to have any analog HD out and will soon only be permitted to have HDMI out.
The dock connector was a long time standard that will be missed by many of us, but wasn't ADB, the Apple Geo port, a floppy drive, and SCSI a long time standard on every Mac? Many of the older video outputs that the dock connector supported were older than these standards.
And Apple can't be making that much more money by switching standards if they need to redesign everything, yes they will make money when someone needs to buy a new adapter, but they also make money when somebody leaves an adapter behind somewhere, breaks one by removing it incorrectly, or hands down the old iDevice to JR. And I am sure that Monoprice will have them soon enough.
