By 2011 or 2012, can't remember the exact deadline, their mobile phones must have Micro-USB. At least if they want to continue selling them here in Europe. The ruling for it passed a while ago that all mobile phones must be chargeable with the same micro-usb connector. Apple agreed to those requirements. I don't see Apple doing Dock AND Micro-USB.

Unless they provide an adapter, don't know if this is allowed or not.

EDIT: Ah screw it, if this site[1] is to be believed Apple will only provide an adapter.
