If it wasn't bad enough that Apple is again exercise it't free-market right to gouge customers for an adapter that in all likelihood costs no more than a dollar, it apparently won't do much anyway.  If like my family you have several speaker docks or clock radios around the house with the ubiquitous 30 pin dock connector, the only thing this adapter will do is charge your new phone or ipod.  

The new connector does not support the method of extracting audio and inputting control signals that was on previous Apple devices. That means you'll have to plug in a jumper cable from the audio jack and control everything from the device instead of using any of the controls on the dock. 

Good thing I wasn't planning to buy any new i-devices anyway.
