Someone is bound to sue apple for doing this.. And it seems as if Apple is doing this on purpose.

Well, they obviously did it on purpose. Whether or not it was with malicious intent remains to be seen. But I doubt the reason was to screw their loyal and growing customer base.

Good luck suing them. It's a slippery slope when you can sue a manufacturer because their product is not backwards-compatible with older add-ons. Now if they stated such ahead of time, then failed to deliver, that's fair grounds.

If the only problem is a "compatibility chip" in the Apple cables, then yes, you can sue, because that is being "anti-competitive", somewhat like those guys who we know and love at Microsoft.

Of course they're doing it on purpose. They don't want you holding on the the same old iPod and it's accessories for 2 or 3 years. Fuck apple.
