Apple's Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter Begins Shipping
Apple has just begun notifying the first wave of customers who ordered the company's new Lightning to 30-pin Adapter that their orders are now shipping. MacRumors has received word from several readers located in Australia that their orders are now in transit, with one reader's shipping notification indicating that his shipment is due to be delivered on October 9.
Apple is offering two versions of the adapter, a $29 direct plug adapter and a $39 adapter with a short cable. The adapters allow users to connect their new Lightning-enabled devices such as the iPhone 5 and forthcoming iPod touch and iPod nano models to docks and other accessories designed for the previous 30-pin dock connector.

they should make a movie about it
It better be written by Aaron Sorkin and/or star Ashton Kutcher.
On second thoughts, why make a whole new movie?

OMG! OMG! OMG! Can I call UPS and have them keep it at the hub, so I can go pick it up early morning? Should I go to the UPS hub early in case there are other people already waiting there?
Lol. Just kidding. It's about time. This adapter should have been available on launch day. Oh well.

Absolutely no legitimate excuse why Apple didn't bundle one of these with the new iPhone. I'm going to cut my nose off to spite my face on this one, and use my old iPhone 4 docked at home and in car.
But then, hardly surprising given Apple continue to give the EU Commission the middle finger by charging the consumer an additional €20 for the Lightning-microUSB adapter that they are required by law to provide.
