Re:Support for Electrically Connected Accessories (Score 1)

If Apple is charging for the tech support for a proprietary interface, then all power to them. And if they are truly allowing such generic accessories such as cases to pass without a cut, then there should be no problem. I would find it had to believe that they are charging a royalty fee for earbuds. Personally I'd package them with a bold "Works with IPOD" (vs. the Made for IPOD) so the 90% of the customer that can't read with comprehension will still buy them.
