Can't argue with that but I bought two alternative "hacked" cables and two CCK adaptors for the price of another vendor's CCK-requiring solution. I own a lot of Apple products but that doesn't mean that I have to respect the constraints they try to place on my fair use. Everybody has to decide for themselves how they want to spend their money. Some people hear a difference between copper and silver, I don't so I save a lot of $$.
On a technical note, you state the "hacked" cables start with a Apple CCK to get the chip so I'm not sure it's really much of a hack that might annoy Apple. Do we know this for sure or has the chip been cloned? That would of course be of more concern to Apple or any other vendor.
From my point of view the risk is that if it fails Apple isn't going to fix or replace it. I have already had one defective CCK so this is a real possibility.
Oh I hear you. If I was to be using my iPhone as the primary source for my Mojo I'd get a hacked cable for sure! But I would also know the risks. Just trying to make sure others do as well. Cheers
