In what way? The charger still works with the iPod, iPhone, and the older cables are still available from Apple, Apple certified suppliers, and non-certified suppliers by the thousands any where from 99¢ to $10.00. So what's useless anywhere? Apple sells the Chargers, Cables, adapters and accessories in their stores, so what in hell are you complaining about? This is just ignorant FUD.
He’s probably mad his iPhone doesn’t have a SCSI port to plug in his Syquest.
