What I'm getting at is that it's not a small minority, plenty of people have desktop radios that they plug their ipod/iphone/ipod touch/nano/etc. into and expect it to work, and when they buy a new phone plus a $30 adapter, they'll expect that to work as well. If it doesn't, that's a huge screw up, and an F-U to their customers.
Hey, I'm not supporting this move either, I just don't think Apple cares about a small minority that needs the capabilities and backwards compatibility you mention. I do hope that they encourage third parties to develop ways to keep the legacy accessories working with new ipods and iphones. And our views that this is not progress really don't matter now, they are not going to go back and change anything. I just hope there will be ways to keep using amps and such with some sort of intermediary device.
