Apple iPhone micro USB adapter

Apple has also quietly released a micro USB adapter, allowing you to charge the iPhone with any existing micro USB chargers.
This is to comply with the European norms, I suppose.

It's almost like they built up an enormous Eco system around the dock connector and they don't want people using mini USB 
I'm sure by the end of Steves 4 year plan there will be no holes/jacks/sockets on the iPhone whatsoever.

It's almost like <snip> they don't want people using mini USB
or at a stroke they have made every phone they have made compatible with the new standard.

8 quid, and then they want a whapping 4 quid, PLUS VAT to ship this tiny item. I'm a big Apple fan, but that's really got my blood boiling! 
As rip-off's go, that's a whopper, and one you might not expect from a company already richer than the US government. Big black mark for Apple
That's awfully good of them to do this rather than just fit a micro USB socket on the darn phone. I have pre-ordered a 4S but at £8, they're taking the mick! Nearly as ridiculous as what I had to pay for an ethernet adaptor. What is it with apple and their accessories?
