Apple, if you're going to change the connector please switch to standard micro usb!

USB is only 4 wires. The 30 pin connector has a lot more signals available than that:

Yes, you can sync and charge the device using only the USB wires, but some accessories use the others.

I don't think that one is in the cards at all. But it would be nice!
