Why is the 30pin adapter £25?! Why not include it free?

This seems like a tax on loyal fans who have a wealth of 30pin accessories (my BOSE sounddock being one of the eye-wateringly expensive ones).
It just feels like a big "screw you" from Apple.
If the adapter was included free with the iPhone 5 - or was even reasonably priced I wouldn't mind. But £25 for somethat that has a unit cost to apple you could measure in pence is the complete opposite of caring about the customer.
Can anyone think of a justifyable reason for the cost; other than "Because they can"?

compared to many others apple have really stuck with the same connector for a long time
11years is a long time using the same electronic connector
but I agree it's pretty pricy

    Hi there,
    The country selected while creating the Adobe account was selected as Malaysia, so you get to see the price in RM.

  • When I downloaded Photoshop from the Creative Cloud, it did not include Adobe Bridge?

    When I downloaded Photoshop CS6 from the Creative Cloud, it did not include a copy of Adobe Bridge. Adobe Bridge does not appear in the selections in my Adobe File Manager to download from the Cloud. How do I obtain a copy of Adobe Bridge?

    Bridge is automatically installed with Photoshop, After Effects, InDesign, Illustrator etc. There is no specific option to install it.

  • Why Not Included ....

    Why Sun not included the API for Byte Code?Is there any special reason for that?.Plz explain it.thanx

    I strongly believe it is because it would have GREATLY bloated the memory footprint. The byte code spec is online:

    It wouldn't be to difficult to write an Api.

  • Lots of Update probs with NSU, why not include Bac...

    Yes i'm back on here to voice a few concerns..
    Firstly i've noticed a lot of threads on here regarding bricked phones when people have innocently been using NSU to upgrade the firmware on there phones.
    I also have a similar experience with an N70 - went to upgrade through NSU, its downloaded the update, and whilst applying it, the pc said no phone connected (even though there was nothing near it), so i ended up with a goosed phone, with no way of updating it or reverting back to the original firmware...
    So why don't Nokia include a mechanism in NSU which as part of the upgrade process Backs up the current firmware before updating. If it fails, then a least NSU could reapply the original one.
    How about Nokia implement a Memory Card solution (for the phones that support it), avoid cable probs altogether, and include an image which you can transfer onto a Memory Card and update the firmware that way?
    Come on Nokia, Connecting people is your logo, yet your NSU is disconnecting the same people good and proper...
    Nuff Said.

    Good point there, but I personaly think that a FW backup/rollback implementation like you mentioned would be a lot trickier to realistically implement, since after the updates are downloaded and firmware flashing is started, nokia really has little to no control of what happens in between the flashing part and the "phone dying" part. ;p
    Also, isn't it detailed in the NSU instructions somewhere that firmware cannot be rolled back to a previous version? But, it can be done at a Care Point (with special equipment, I presume).
    Not even the other phone manufacturers can do the same at this time (i.e. software-controlled FW rollback).

  • Why not include LiveCycle Designer with Creative Cloud subscription?

    Creative Cloud offers quite a few premier Adobe products - which is great !! So how about Adobe offering LiveCycle Designer with Creative Cloud? It would be awesome ...

    I wish I had enough time to tell you the hell I went through to get a my copy of LC3.
    Long story short: Company purchased CC with CS6 and Acrobat 9 that comes with LC2. Saw a new version of Acrobat X released and LC3. Upgraded to Acrobat X and figured LC3 would come along since we had ALL Adobe applications because of our CC. Installed, noticed my LC2 had been uninstalled due to Acrobat X upgrade... TOOK MANY MANY MANY Custome support call to to find out NO ONE knew anything about LC2 and LC3 being on CC..., ended up with upgrade to LC3 after filing form to receive physical copy. Still angry at the whole thing.
    Not only this, but LC4 is now out and it is not a free upgrade. But this is fine because nothing much changed from LC3.
    So note. LC2 Came with first Creative Cloud due to Acrobat 9, then removed when Acrobat X released. LC2 deleted, no LC3 upgrade.
    Message was edited by: TDRonline: Forgot to mention the downtime we had because we had to wait for our physical copy that took 2 weeks to arrive.

    It seems as if you have purchased the upgrade version of Acrobat 11.
    The Enter Serial Number Upgrade screen accepts only the serial number of a previous version of the product that you are currently installing.
    If in case you do not have any previous version of Acrobat then it will be considered as incorrect purchase. You should have purchased a full version of Acrobat.
    Thanks!

  • CAMERA SHAKE!!!! Why not Premiere? FCP has it!

    So the one thing that has been bothering me to no end is the fact that Premiere has not included a camera shake preset into their library when the product ships. There isnt even a preset you can buy(that i found) for premiere pro. I dont want to use AE for one simple effect that should be included in the release.
    Fcp has it in its effects tabs and its great, why not Premiere?
    If anyone has knowledge of a good preset for camera shake, please let me know.
    I do not wish to mickey mouse it in AE and or even in Premiere .. as i've tested them all before and nothing appeals to me.
    thanks guys

    I dont have fcp in front of me.. i do belive it is the earthquake effect.
    Yes i know that premiere and fcp dont have the same effects, but it would be nice for premiere to include this "earthquake" "shake" effect as a preset.
    I actually almost switched to fcp for this one effect(i'm not kidding), i've been premiere editor for over 15 years. I like to edit with ease and that effect is what i've been needing for a long time. If you guys look @ spike TV's UFC adverts, when the guys hit one another they do this "shake" effect and it looks amazing.
    I have sent in a request for this feature, i hope everyone who reads this thread, sends one. It would be a great addition to the software.
    to BDRUMMER67, i'm not sure i understand your post,  you say u used a digieffects plug in to make your camera shake, which plug in did you use? Displace? I have used that one and its still not the same, doesnt have that same look.

  • File Content conversion at the sender adapter without Key field

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement ....We are using Message Transform Bean at the sender adapter (we are not going for FCC as we are tranforming a decryption) ..its is a flat file...
    we dnot have a key field for one of the node .....we have total 5 nodes under parent node and one of the node does not have key field ....
    NOTE: I guess we have to do either Java mapping or XSLT ..but not getting proper weblogs with program...
    and not well versed with coding...i got few codes which were either not fulfilling requiremment or they use stream tranformation where it is decaprecated in NWDS and does not allow to compile it properly .
    Can somebody get me a code for Java which uses Abstract tranformation ...which can full fill below requirement
    parent node
                  Node1
                       node 1a
                       node 1b
                  Node 2
                  Node 3
    Input Flat file is in below format
    example:
    Employee Headre Flat files
    Employee Detail Flat Files(this repeates numerous times as much as number of employees)
    Employee  Trailer Flat Files
    Loan Headre Flat files
    Load Detaisl Flat Files (this repeates numerous times as much as number of employees)
    Loan Trailer Flat files
    Assitance much appreciated thanks .

    Hi Stefan,
    I will rephrase the question i guess its communication gap...
    1) we have an existing interface in 3.0..we are not copying the same interface to 7.1 as it was not according to standards and they are phasing out that system.
    2) In 3.0 they are reading the Flat files under one record .. the structure is as follows:
    Parent Node
               Node
                   Row
    They are reading all the flat files row by row.
    and even in receiver they are reading in the similar fashion
    3) In the current structure according to the FS we have to create a structure defined by them which is as below
          Employee
              Header
              Details   node 1
                 Details  node 1a
                  Details  node 1b
              Trailer
              Loan Header
              Loan Detail
              Loan Trailer
    Receiver structure is
    Employee
          Node (this will have the receiver fields which is about 30 fields)
    4) We have pulled a sample file from 3.0 for the existing interface as we din get the sample file for existing one in FS and Iam not sure whn are they gonna send it.
    5) In the existing interface payload we have everything matching even the field lengths and postions and even key fields and key fields we got from the FS
    6) problem is we donot have key fields for the Details node 1a and 1b even in FS or the existing payload and we got an update from the FS consultant that we will be receiving these fields but without keyfields...
    see i donot have any problem taking out the details 1a and 1b out of the details header and create the structure ,,,,but the main issue is without key field we will not be able to generate the 1a and 1b nodes or read it in the FCC or MTB (i have to use MTB as we are decryting the file from the sender).
    Or is there any other method apart from java mapping or module development to handle these files
