Apple has unveiled the comapny’s lineup of iPhone accessories:
• iPhone Bluetooth Headset: Make and answer iPhone calls wirelessly with this compact and lightweight Bluetooth headset. The iPhone Bluetooth Headset features a single button that lets you make and receive phone calls simply and intuitively. And it delivers up to 5.5 hours of talk time and up to 72 hours of standby time thanks to its built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. An iPhone Dual Dock and iPhone Bluetooth Travel Cable are also included. $129
• Apple USB Power Adapter: Use this compact, convenient USB-based adapter to charge your iPhone or iPod at home, on the road, or whenever it’s not connected to a computer. An Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable is included. $29
• iPhone Dock: The iPhone Dock offers easy access to a USB port for syncing or charging, and audio line out for connecting to powered speakers. Also includes an Apple USB Power Adapter and an Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable. $49
• Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable: This USB 2.0 cable connects your iPhone or iPod — directly or through a Dock — to your computer’s USB port for efficient syncing and charging, or to the Apple USB Power Adapter for convenient charging from a wall outlet. $19
• iPhone Dual Dock: Give both your iPhone and your iPhone Bluetooth Headset a place to call home. The iPhone Dual Dock also includes an Apple USB Power Adapter for convenient charging. $49
• iPhone Universal Dock Adapter 3-Pack: These Dock Adapters enable your iPhone to connect to the iPod Universal Dock and other products that use the Universal Dock system. You can even conduct speakerphone calls with your iPhone in the Dock. $9
• iPhone Stereo Headset: The iPhone Stereo Headset is designed like the Apple iPod headphones and features a high-performance microphone fitted with a windscreen. You can quickly answer and end iPhone calls and control basic music playback simply by pressing a button on the mic. $29
• iPhone Bluetooth Travel Cable: Use this cable to charge your iPhone Bluetooth Headset while you sync or charge your iPhone. $29
• Works with iPhone: Look for the “Works with iPhone” logo to find electronic accessories designed to connect specifically to iPhone and certified by the developer to meet Apple performance standards.
• iPhone TTY Adapter: This adapter lets you use your iPhone with standard TTY devices. Just plug the cable from your TTY device into one end of the iPhone TTY Adapter, then plug the other end of the adapter into your iPhone. $9
Apple says that “Many iPod accessories that use the 30-pin connector — such as chargers and speakers — may also be compatible with iPhone, even though they haven’t been certified as ‘Works with iPhone.'”
When you connect an uncertified accessory, your iPhone will notify you and present you with the option to go into Airplane Mode, which turns off the communication capability of the iPhone while it’s connected to that accessory. This means that you’ll avoid potential audio interference, but you’ll be unable to make or receive calls. If you choose not to enter Airplane Mode, you can make and receive calls, but you may experience some audio interference.

I want
“”iPhone dock”???”
So the iPhone doesn’t come with a dock?
Pretty cheap of them.
Okay so whats a TTY device?
@shoeman
I don’t think they said that. Some people want an extra dock to place in an office, vacation home, etc.

here is a list of what comes in the box. It comes with a dock, I guess you can buy another one. Ya know, in case you want to doc the think everywhere you go…
Cool. Thanks!
Yeah, I’m wondering about the TTY device also
TTY is assistive technology for the hearing impaired.
TTYL – Talk To You Later – call waiting
Re: TTY
According to Wikipedia:
“A generic term for any computer data terminal or associated serial interface”

It’s a device for deaf people

Oops… the wrong type of TTY 🙁
huh?
damn i was hoping apple would make their own cases, but alas they didn’t. I hope cases will be on sale when picking up an iPhone
A TTY device for the deaf is like a small electronic typewriter that connects through a phone to another phone also equipped with a similar device. You can “talk” to the other party as if you are in a chat app, but it works over phone lines, instead of on a computer.
Attention Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg and all Verizon customers:
What an opportunity you blew!
Steve Jobs approached you first!
He thought your company was the best. He was wanting to compete against AT&T, and you weren’t!
Oh, what a hindsight tragedy for you people!
Currently, you Verizon people are sitting there trying your best how to keep boatloads of your customers from jumping ship instead of having a proud smirk on your face this morning being part of the biggest world changing technological event in history! Doh!
Omygosh, I pity Ivan Seidenberg…this guy is gonna be homeless, hungry, and wandering the streets past the 5th Avenue Apple Store each night just looking up at that bright Apple and saying “why didn’t I listen?”, “why did I let my pride get in the way?” Weeping and knashing of teeth for all Verizon employees and soon to be leaving customers.
The bluetooth headset price of $129 is ridiculous, but alas, it’s Apple.
“The bluetooth headset price of $129 is ridiculous, but alas, it’s Apple.”
Agreed, especially when you can get a Jawbone noise-cancelling headset for $119. I think I’ll go that route.
@FUseeK
Gotta love homonymic acronyms, just for the game of them.
Maybe the iPhone headset is better than the Jawbone, no?
On the other hand, maybe not.
I think I’ll wait for some reviews before deciding.
“I think I’ll wait for some reviews before deciding.”
Yeah, me too. I’ll see how the stock headphones work first.
What about matching shoes and a handbag?
Re: Bluetooth Headset price of $129
It says it includes a iPhone Dual Dock and iPhone Bluetooth Travel Cable, which are $49 and $29, respectively. Now that $129 is only $51. Not as expensive as you thought, eh?
You may argue that each item is somewhat expensive, but you can’t ignore two items that alone are more than half the package price.
MDN MW: ‘thinking’ goes nicely with reading
