iPod Camera Connector Photo

Appleinsider posted a photo of the upcoming iPod Camera Connector which was announced on Wednesday.

The upcoming connector appears to be a small white adapter which connects directly to the iPod's dock connector one on end and a female USB port on the other end. A USB cable then leads to the Camera.

According to earlier comments, the new adapter will be available in March and be compatible with both old and new iPod Photos.

I guess that would be handy. I wonder if you could plug your iPod shuffle into it? o_O

Looks great, it is the exact size I was hoping. Looks alot like a pocketdock. This may push me one step closer to an iPod Photo.

lol. would be funny, but unless there would be any use for it, i don't think you could do anything with it

it looks believable. the only thing i doubt is the place where the camera connects to the cord, the stupid flap thing.. that is very un apple like. i know its not apples camera, but it still looks ugly in apples picture, and apple doesn't normally do ugly

The question is whether there is software/hardware inside the new Photo iPods that makes this thing work, or wether the new device handles everything its self. I would still like a way to get pictures from my camera to my iPod mini...
Are there details yet, perhaps someplace else, that either firmly include or exclude older or different iPods from using this device?

Slick, only way that could be better is if the cable plugged directly into the ipod, but since the 3rd gen that hasn't been possible.

why couldn't they take the current ipod USB cable and change the USB part at the other end.

I know that companies like Pentax have their own customed made cables but 29 for an adaptor like the PocketDock USB version is ... a rip the pocketdock is only 18.95

Have a look at the Dock connector... there are MANY more pins than the 4 that USB carries.

It is likely that the converter needs to patch into something extra inside the iPod.

maybe there's some sort of chip/circuit board in that small device and not necessarily just a converter from the ipod connector to usb.
