iMore has a story today about the potential end of the 30 pin dock connector. If their sources are correct, the new smaller connector will be introduced at the September 12th event. I understand Apple changing the connector at this point will upset a lot of people. I'll need to buy some adapters myself. But I'm ready for a change. I really hope it means I can finally plug in a phone in the dark without worrying about which way is up or down.

Update: The new connector may be even smaller than previously thought according to MacRumors.
