Read a few articles about this, but still don't know if this is another Apple proprietary connector or if it's just a microUSB.
I'm hoping the later but know Apple it'll be the former

Consider history. Some dock connector accessories wouldn't be possible with microUSB.Read a few articles about this, but still don't know if this is another Apple proprietary connector or if it's just a microUSB.

Almost certainly will be Apple proprietary and not a micro USB

This is what I do not understand... Why does every other manufacturer fall under the law which forces them to use "Standard" and "Non proprietary" cell phone charge/sync cables? What is the loop hole they use? Every other new phone that I know of... seems to use some form of micro/mini/whateverelse USB cable.
It's a 19 pin connector.

It's still USB. As long as they offer an adaptor (which they do) they comply with the EU law.
iLounge is reporting it's 8 pins.
Yea they are but the 19 pin actually makes sense. The 8 pin sounds like a click-through machine.
Sounds a lot like the next Dock interface may just be USB 3.0 with a custom connector, abandoning all of the 30-pin connectors analog A/V outputs in favor of AirPlay, Bluetooth, and full USB implementations in peripherals.

It makes sense to me:
of course it's gonna be proprietary. How else are they gonna charge $25 for an adapter.
