Thanks for your replies. I've just gotten used to being able to use any old usb cable with devices. Case in point, I was staying at a friends for a long weekend, and my kobo died. He had mini usb and charged it overnight and was good for reading on the way home. Same with a bb, or pretty much any portable device.

I get the vibe you guys are defending apples choices but there is no reason for proprietary cables in this day and age.
