Tim Cook: "We're going to double down on secrecy."
SURE!
This is getting older than "YOLO"
Nope this is all a ploy. Tim Cook said he was cracking down. Apple wouldn't do this. Steve wouldn't have done this. It's ugly and nobody will buy it.
Don't forget:
"The company's going downhill" and
"I'm switching to Android"
Has anyone else noticed that the headphone jacks on the iPhone cable seems to be upside down? Especially when compared to the other cable? It would seem to me that by simply bending the cable, the distance should be roughly the same.
And that the distance in the other cord is roughly the same as an iPod touch from center of connector to headphone jack, although mirrored.

I dont think Nexus 7 is such a bad name or a tongue twister, its simple. The nexus line is well known and the 7 implies the screen size.

Looks too big for an iPod Touch.
It looks like the Dock Connector and Headphone jack will be in the same position relative to each other on each device. This is so a dock (or adapter cable) can connect to both the dock connector and audio out at the same time. The new dock connector doesn't carry an audio signal.

Micro USB is fiddly and annoying and breaks pretty easily. The new Dock Connector looks like it'll be easier to connect, and more robust.
Also, Apple can make more cash money selling cables and licensing 3rd party products using their own design.
People on internet forums making valueless comments should avoid questioning how others choose to spend their time.
Crazy idea: if you're not interested... go and do something else!
Is it me or does it seem like every new product gets more and more parts leaked out over the last couple years?

There are more important standards, grammar and syntax, for example.
Has anyone consider that this may as well be for the ipad 3?
I mean we did read that ipad 3 will also change to the small dock as well,what if this is it?
iPad mini leaks none except this dock pic,don't you find it strange especially when for the new iphone we had so many leaks?

I just think it's nice when people make an effort, when posting in a forum, to make their writing easy to read. It's a mark of respect to the reader.
Cutting down on excessive exclamation marks and capitalisations and trying to use full sentences, that sort of thing.
As for having nothing to say, are you suggesting your comment about standards is adding something? That conversation has been had so many times. It's right up there with the iPhone numbering convention and the screen size hoopla when it comes to worn out topics.
Just to add to the speculation - maybe the iPod nano is being sized up to replace the form factor of the iPod touch and the smaller iPad will be branded iTouch or iPod touch or even iPod.
iPad mini is probably more likely though. Just seems a bit odd the nano is getting a size increase to compete with the ipod Touch.
