I can't help but think that Apple is making a huge mistake with the new connector. Some people have gone along with Apple the last few years - perhaps not thinking too much about it - buying a new iPhone every other generation. Along the way, they've bought chargers, docks, alarm clocks, and other accessories that have tied them closer and closer to the Apple tree.

Now, along comes the new connector, all the accessories are instantly obsolete* and they have to buy all new ones.

Isn't this the perfect reason for those people to consider another, non-Apple, line of phones? If they have to buy all new accessories anyway, why not open the door wide?

*Yes, I know you can buy a converter for $30. But who's going to do that for a charger that cost $5?
